Eupator

Methylated flavone derivative contained e.g. in Orthosiphon stamineus and in orange oil In experimental approaches it could be proven that eupatorin as well as the flavone derivative sinensitin (also detectable in Orthosiphon stamineus extracts) have anti-inflammatory, antiproliterative and vascular-relaxing properties.
