ScopePolymethoxylated flavones (PMFs) are a group of natural compounds known to display a wide array of beneficial effects to promote physiological fitness. Recent studies reveal circadian clocks as an important cellular mechanism mediating preventive efficacy of the major PMF Nobiletin against metabolic disorders. Sudachitin is a PMF enriched inCitrus sudachi, and its functions and mechanism of action are poorly understood.Methods and resultsUsing circadian reporter cells, it shows that Sudachitin modulates circadian amplitude and period ofBmal1promoter‐driven reporter rhythms, and real‐time qPCR analysis shows that Sudachitin alters expression of core clock genes, notablyBmal1, at both transcript and protein levels. Mass‐spec analysis reveals systemic exposure in vivo. In mice fed with high‐fat diet with or without Sudachitin, it observes increased nighttime activity and daytime sleep, accompanied by significant metabolic improvements in a circadian time‐dependent manner, including respiratory quotient, blood lipid and glucose profiles, and liver physiology. Focusing on liver, RNA‐sequencing and metabolomic analyses reveal prevalent diurnal alteration in both gene expression and metabolite accumulation.ConclusionThis study elucidates Sudachitin as a new clock‐modulating PMF with beneficial effects to improve diurnal metabolic homeostasis and liver physiology, suggesting the circadian clock as a fundamental mechanism to safeguard physiological well‐being.
