Syringin

Syringin, also known as eleutheroside B or lilacin, was first isolated from the bark of lilac (Syringa vulgaris) by Meillet in 1841, where its name likely was derived. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenolic glycosides. Phenolic glycosides are organic compounds containing a phenolic structure attached to a glycosyl moiety. Syringin results from the glycosidic bonding of sinapyl alcohol and glucose. Some examples of phenolic structures include lignans and flavonoids. Among the sugar units found in natural glycosides are D-glucose, L-Fructose, and L rhamnose. Syringin is neutral compound. Syringin is a naturally occurring organic compound found in many plants such as Eleutherococcus senticosus (Siberian ginseng), dandelion, coffee and cannabis (PMID:6991645). Syringin has also been detected in caraway, fennels, and lemons ( http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1466551.html#tooccur). Syringin have been reported to have immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive and hypoglucemic effects (PMID: 11578112; PMID: 15549657; PMID: 18203055).
