Definition
(3r)-sophorol is a member of the class of compounds known as isoflavanones. Isoflavanones are polycyclic compounds containing an isoflavan skeleton which bears a ketone at position C4. Thus, (3r)-sophorol is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule (3r)-sophorol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). (3r)-sophorol can be found in a number of food items such as japanese chestnut, radish, star fruit, and acerola, which makes (3r)-sophorol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
