Amentoflavone is a constituent of a number of plants with medicinal properties, including Ginkgo biloba and Hypericum perforatum (St. John’s Wort).[1]
It is a biflavonoid (bis-apigenin coupled at 8 and 3' positions).
Amentoflavone can interact with many other medications by being a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9, which are proteins used for drug metabolism in the body.[2]
