Aromadendrin
Introduction '''Aromadendrin''' ('''aromodendrin''' or '''dihydrokaempferol''') is a flavanonol, a type of flavonoid. It can be found in the wood of ''Pinus sibirica''.
Metabolism The enzyme dihydrokaempferol 4-reductase uses ''cis''-3,4-leucopelargonidin and NADP+ to  produce (+)-aromadendrin, NADPH, and H+.===Glycosides===(2''R'',3''R'')-''trans''-Aromadendrin-7-''O''-''beta''-D-glucopyranoside-6-(4-hydroxy-2-methylene butanoate) is an acylated glucoside of aromadendrin isolated from the stem bark of ''Afzelia bella'' (Fabaceae).Phellamurin is the 8-prenyl 7-glucoside derivative of aromadendrin.
Chemistry (+)-Leucopelargonidin, (2''R'',3''S'',4''R'')-3,4,5,7,4'-pentahydroxyflavan, can be synthesized from (+)-aromadendrin by sodium borohydride reduction.
