A straightforward procedure leading to the flavone cirsimaritin and its 4′-O-β-d-glycosylation to afford cirsimarin, its corresponding flavone glucopyranoside, is described. The biological properties of cirsimarin, measured on human adipocytes, showed potent effects on both lipolysis and lipogenesis. Cirsimarin could therefore be considered as an efficient tool in the struggle against excessive adipose tissue deposition and as a potential candidate in the treatment of obesity.
