Definition
Candol b, also known as ent-kaur-16-en-15 beta-ol or kaurenol, is a member of the class of compounds known as kaurane diterpenoids. Kaurane diterpenoids are diterpene alkaloids with a structure that is based on the kaurane skeleton. Kaurane is a tetracyclic compound that arises by cyclisation of a pimarane precursor followed by rearrangement. It possesses a [3,2,1]-bicyclic ring system with C15-C16 bridge connected to C13, forming the five-membered ring D. Candol b is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Candol b can be found in cereals and cereal products, which makes candol b a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
