Floratheasaponin I
Definition
Floratheasaponin i is a member of the class of compounds known as triterpene saponins. Triterpene saponins are glycosylated derivatives of triterpene sapogenins. The sapogenin moiety backbone is usually based on the oleanane, ursane, taraxastane, bauerane, lanostane, lupeol, lupane, dammarane, cycloartane, friedelane, hopane, 9b,19-cyclo-lanostane, cycloartane, or cycloartanol skeleton. Floratheasaponin i is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Floratheasaponin i can be found in tea, which makes floratheasaponin i a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2 , and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms.
