The flavonoid diosmin (diosmetin 7--rutinoside) is used as a therapeutic agent for disorders of the blood vessels such as hemorrhoids and varicose veins. Diosmin is commercially produced using semi-synthetic methods involving the oxidation of hesperidin, the most abundant flavonoid in citrus fruits. However, this method produces byproducts that are toxic to the environment, and new sustainable methods to produce diosmin are required.
