Pinocembrin is a flavanone, a type of flavonoid. It is an antioxidant found in damiana,[1] honey, fingerroot,[2] and propolis.[3]

Pinocembrin can be converted biosynthetically to pinobanksin by hydroxylation adjacent to the ketone. Studies have shown that pinocembrin has potential as a drug to treat cerebral ischemia, intracerebral hemorrhage, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerosis as well as other diseases.[4][5]
