(6aR,11aR)-3,9-Dihydroxypterocarpan
Definition
(6ar,11ar)-3,9-dihydroxypterocarpan is a member of the class of compounds known as pterocarpans. Pterocarpans are benzo-pyrano-furano-benzene compounds, containing the 6H-[1]benzofuro[3,2-c]chromene skeleton. They are derivatives of isoflavonoids. Thus, (6ar,11ar)-3,9-dihydroxypterocarpan is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule (6ar,11ar)-3,9-dihydroxypterocarpan is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). (6ar,11ar)-3,9-dihydroxypterocarpan can be found in a number of food items such as cherimoya, celery leaves, devilfish, and american butterfish, which makes (6ar,11ar)-3,9-dihydroxypterocarpan a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pterocarpans. These are benzo-pyrano-furano-benzene compounds, containing the 6H-[1]benzofuro[3,2-c]chromene skeleton. They are derivatives of isoflavonoids.
