Xanthohumol (Xn) has well‐established chemopreventive potential in vitro . In order to carry out in vivo bioavailability and tissue distribution studies, 14 C‐labelled Xn was produced by biolabelling. Supplying hop sprouts with 5 mCi [U‐ 14 C]glucose led to incorporation of 14 C into Xn. Delivering the radioactive precursor at once resulted in Xn with a specific activity of 318 μCi·mmol –1 ; if however the amount was supplied in aliquots over 4 days a specific activity of only 53.1 μCi·mmol –1 Xn was obtained.
