Pinocembrin can be converted biosynthetically to pinobanksin by hydroxylation adjacent to the ketone. Studies have shown that pinocembrin has potential as a drug to treat cerebral ischemia, intracerebral hemorrhage, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerosis as well as other diseases.[4][5]
