The pyranoflavonoids are a type of flavonoids possessing a pyran group.
Cyclocommunin is another natural pyranoflavonoid.[1]
Pyranoanthocyanins[edit]
Pyranoisoflavones[edit]
- Alpinumisoflavone
- Di-O-methylalpinumisoflavone
- 4'-methyl-alpinumisoflavone
- 5,3′,4′-trihydroxy-2″,2″-dimethylpyrano (5″,6″:7,8) isoflavone - has antifungal properties, and is from the plant species ficus tikoua Bur.[2]
The enzyme monoprenyl isoflavone epoxidase produces a dihydrofurano pyranoisoflavone derivative from 7-O-methylluteone.
Pyranoflavonols[edit]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
