Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name VITEXIN.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Vitexin

Vitexin is an apigenin flavone glycoside, which is found in the passion flower, bamboo leaves and pearl millet. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, a platelet aggregation inhibitor, an EC 3.2.1.20 (alpha-glucosidase) inhibitor and a plant metabolite. It is a C-glycosyl compound and a trihydroxyflavone. It is functionally related to an apigenin. It is a conjugate acid of a vitexin-7-olate. — ChEBI
