A natural molecule extracted from a citrus fruit characterized by the fact that its structure is a flavonoid linked to 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaric acid and an extraction process in which: the extraction of chopped fruit is conducted in pure or mixed chloroform, ethanol or methanol for a certain time, the filtrate is evaporated to dryness, the residue is submitted to solid phase extraction in order to separate the flavonoidic portion from the other class of compounds, the flavonoid mixture is separated through a preparative HPLC chromatographic system. Pharmaceutical use of the natural molecule extracted from a citrus fruit used as anticholesterol drug.
