Sarmentosin is a glycoside and a natural product primarily derived from several plant species, notably Ribes nigrum (blackcurrants)[1] and Rhodiola sacra.[2] It has gained attention for its potential therapeutic applications, including recently as an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO), an enzyme involved in the metabolism of neurotransmitters.[1] Research has highlighted the ability of sarmentosin to inhibit MAO-B, a subtype of the enzyme, suggesting its role in managing conditions related to monoamine neurotransmitter levels.
