Flavanone is the basic chemical skeleton for the class of compounds known as Flavanoids. Flavonoids are naturally occurring secondary plant metabolites. They are mainly found in cereals and herbs. In the western diet, the estimated daily intake of flavonoids is in the range of 20 -50 mg per day. Flavonoids as a class generally have effects on CYP (P450) activity, and therefore may affect drug metabolisms.
