Also known as (+)-(2R,3R)-dihydroquercetin, (2R,3R)-(+)-taxifolin, (2R,3R)-dihydroquercetin, Dihydroquercetin, (2R,3R)-3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavanone, (+)-dihydroquercetin, (2R,3R)-3,3',4',5,7-Pentahydroxyflavanone, (2R,3R)-Dihydroquercetin

Taxifolin (5,7,3',4'-flavan-on-ol), also known as dihydroquercetin, belongs to the subclass flavanonols in the flavonoids, which in turn is a class of polyphenols. It is extracted from plants such as Siberian larch and milk thistle.

Taxifolin (5,7,3',4'-flavan-on-ol), also known as dihydroquercetin, belongs to the subclass flavanonols in the flavonoids, which in turn is a class of polyphenols. It is extracted from plants such as Siberian larch and milk thistle.

== Stereocenters == Taxifolin has two stereocenters on the C-ring, as opposed to quercetin which has none. For example, (+)-taxifolin has (2R,3R)-configuration, making it one out of four stereoisomers that comprise two pairs of enantiomers.
