PMID: ACS Chem Neurosci. 2019 Nov 7. Epub 2019 Nov 7. PMID: 31697467 Abstract Title: The natural flavonoid Naringenin elicits analgesia through inhibition of NaV1.8 voltage-gated sodium channels. Abstract: Naringenin (2S)-5,7-dihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-4-one is a natural flavonoid found in fruits from the citrus family. Since (2S)-Naringenin is known to racemize, its bioactivity might be related to one …
