Cynaroside (also known as luteoloside) is a flavone, a flavonoid-like chemical compound. It is a 7-O-glucoside of luteolin.

Natural occurrences

It can be found in Ferula varia and F. foetida in Campanula persicifolia and C. rotundifolia, in the bamboo Phyllostachys nigra, and in Teucrium gnaphalodes.

; In food It can be found in dandelion (the highest concentration in the flowers, but also in the roots) and in Cynara scolymus (artichoke).

Metabolism

Flavone 7-O-beta-glucosyltransferase adds a glucose to luteolin.

A cynaroside 7-O-glucosidase has been identified in the artichoke.
