Description:

Paeoniflorin is a chemical compound. It is one of the major constituents of a herbal medicine derived from Paeonia lactiflora. It can also be isolated from the fresh water fern Salvinia molesta.

In Paeonia, it can form new compounds with addition of phenolic substituents. Paeoniflorin has antiandrogenic properties. Paeoniflorin inhibits the production of testosterone and promotes the activity of aromatase - the enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogen.

 

Chinese Peony is widely grown as an ornamental plant in gardens, with several hundred selected cultivars; many of the cultivars have double flowers, with the stamens modified into additional petals. It was first introduced to England in the mid-18th century, and is the species that has produced most common garden peonies today. It was known as P. albiflora for many years, and as the white peony when first introduced into Europe. There are many colors now available, from pure milk white, to pink, rose, and near red—along with single to full double forms. They are prolific bloomers, and have become the main source of peonies for the cut flower business.
In China, it is less highly valued as an ornamental plant than the cultivars of tree peony Paeonia rockii (tree peony) and its hybrid Paeonia x suffruticosa.
