| Eriodictyol is a flavanone characteristic of lime, found mainly in juice. The glycosylated forms are eriocitrin (bound to a rutinoside) and neoeriocitrin (bound to a neohesperidose). Eriodictyol prevents some secondary effects of diabetes, such as diabetic retinopathy and biochemical changes in plasma (study in rats) (Bucolo et al., 2012). In addition, it has been reported that in in vitro studies, eriodictyol decreases insulin resistance and glucose absorption. Eriodictyol is used in biological studies as natural compounds as sources of new bifunctional scaffolds targeting cholinesterases and beta amyloid aggregation. Eriodictyl is extracted from Yerba santa, an herb. The leaf is used to make medicine. Yerba santa is used for respiratory conditions including coughs, colds, tuberculosis, asthma, and chronic bronchitis. It is also used for fever and dry mouth. Some people use it to relieve muscle spasms, to loosen phlegm, and as a tonic.
