Abstract: Hesperidin is a major flavonoid in sweet oranges and lemons. Aglycone form of hesperidin i.e., hesperetin, and their various derivatives possess significant potential as therapeutic agents for a wide range of diseases and disorders. No signs of toxicity have been observed with the normal intake of hesperidin or related compounds. Hesperidin has been reported to possess a wide range of pharmacological properties, which includes antioxidant, anti-viral, anticancer, antidiabetic, analgesic, organ protective, neuroprotective, antihypertensive, and cardioprotective effects. This needs to be effectively studied at the clinical level so as to firmly establish the usefulness of these compounds in the treatment or prevention of disease in humans. This paper reviews various aspects of hesperidin, including their chemistry, biosynthesis, and bioactivity.
