Diosmin (diosmetin 7-O-rutinoside), a flavone derivative also known as venosmine, is a glycoside of diosmetin, which in turn is the 4'-methoxy derivative of luteolin. Diosmin is naturally occurring, mainly in the citrus family rutaceae, but also in herbs such as Teucrium gnaphalodes.[1]

Synthetic

Due to high demand for pharmaceutical use, it is also made semi-synthetically by dehydrogenation of hesperidin, e.g. with iodine in pyridine.[2] Diosmin has 10 stereocenters. It is an oral phlebotropic drug used in the treatment of venous disease, i.e., chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) including spider and varicose veins, leg swelling (edema), stasis dermatitis and venous ulcers. It is also used as a stand-alone or surgical adjunctive therapy in hemorrhoidal disease (HD).

There are extensive clinical trials that show diosmin improves all stages of venous disease including venous ulcers and improves quality of life.[3] There are no prospective studies in arterial disease.

Diosmin is currently a prescription medication in some European countries (tradenames Dio-PP, Venotec, Daflon, Detralex, Vasculera, Arvenum), containing 90% diosmin and 10% hesperidin, and sold as a nutritional supplement in the United States.

Diosmin has been found to be effective in mitigating hyperglycemia in diabetic rats.[4] It is also speculated that diosmin might have potential in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases,[5] such as Alzheimer's disease, and its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic activity has been demonstrated in neuronal cells, in vitro.[6]

Mechanisms

Diosmin prolongs the vasoconstrictor effect of norepinephrine on the vein wall, increasing venous tone, and therefore reducing venous capacitance, distensibility, and venous stasis. This increases the venous return and reduces venous hyperpressure present in patients suffering from CVI.

Diosmin improves lymphatic drainage by increasing the frequency and intensity of lymphatic contractions, and by increasing the total number of functional lymphatic capillaries. Furthermore, diosmin with hesperidine decreases the diameter of lymphatic capillaries and the intralymphatic pressure.

At the microcirculation level, diosmin reduces capillary hyperpermeability and increases capillary resistance by protecting the microcirculation from damaging processes.

Diosmin reduces the expression of endothelial adhesion molecules (ICAM1, VCAM1), and inhibits the adhesion, migration, and activation of leukocytes at the capillary level. This leads to a reduction in the release of inflammatory mediators, principally oxygen free radicals and prostaglandins (PGE2, PGF2a).

Regulatory status

Diosmin is distributed in the U.S. as a dietary supplement and as a prescription medical food.[7] The FDA concluded in 2001 that there was inadequate evidence on which to base an expectation of safety.[8] As of 2013, the FDA did not revise this position, and all phlebotonics remain unapproved.[9] In the U.S., dietary supplements are regulated under Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, which does not require proof of efficacy so long as no specific health claims are made. The enhanced version of diosmin, Vasculera, is sold as a medical food product. Under FDA regulation, medical food products must obtain GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status and have scientifically proven efficacy.[10] A 2016 Cochrane review found that diosmin significantly reduced leg and ankle swelling and lower leg pain.[11]
