Nobiletin

Citrus Flavonoid

Nobiletin is a polymethoxylated flavone found in citrus peel. Most efficacy claims derive from cell and animal models; the limited human evidence uses mixtures and cannot establish isolated-nobiletin benefit.

Pharmacokinetic model

A route-level PK model for nobiletin is being prepared from published data. Dosing references, studies, and documented interactions are below; the app catalog is updated as models are validated.

  1. Nobiletin improves memory impairment and amyloid-beta pathology in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease Onozuka H, Nakajima A, Matsuzaki K, Shin RW, Ogino K, Saigusa D, Tetsu N, Yokosuka A, Sashida Y, Mimaki Y, Yamakuni T, Ohizumi Y · Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2008 DOI

    Four months of nobiletin changed memory and amyloid measures in a transgenic mouse model. This does not establish prevention or treatment of Alzheimer disease in humans.

Effectiveness and Safety of a Mixture of Nobiletin and Tangeretin in Nocturia Patients: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Crossover Study Ito H, Negoro H, Kono J, Hayata N, Miura T, Manabe Y, Miyazaki Y, Mishina M, Woo JT, Sakane N, Okuno H · Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023 DOI

    Thirty-six of 40 older participants completed a crossover trial of a nobiletin-tangeretin mixture. The primary bladder-capacity endpoint showed little change; nighttime frequency fell by about 0.5 voids. The mixture…
