Definition
2-methyl-6-solanyl-1,4-benzoquinol, also known as 2-methyl-6-all-trans-nonaprenylbenzene-1,4-diol or msbq, is a member of the class of compounds known as polyprenyl quinols. Polyprenyl quinols are compounds containing a polyisoprene chain attached to a quinol(hydroquinone) at the second ring position. 2-methyl-6-solanyl-1,4-benzoquinol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2-methyl-6-solanyl-1,4-benzoquinol can be found in a number of food items such as muscadine grape, safflower, rocket salad (sspecies), and other soy product, which makes 2-methyl-6-solanyl-1,4-benzoquinol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as polyprenyl quinols. Polyprenyl quinols are compounds containing a polyisoprene chain attached to a quinol(hydroquinone) at the second ring position.
