Phellamurin, a flavonoid, is the 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, 8-C-prenyl derivative of the flavan-on-ol Aromadendrin,[1] and may be seen as the 7-O-glucoside of noricaritin.[2] Being a flavanonol, it has two stereocenters on the C-ring, so four stereoisomers of phellamurin are possible.

It can be found in Commiphora africana[3] and in Phellodendron amurense.[4]
