Definition
Demethylsuberosin, also known as 7-hydroxy-6-prenylcoumarin or 7-hydroxy-6-prenyl-1-benzopyran-2-one, is a member of the class of compounds known as 7-hydroxycoumarins. 7-hydroxycoumarins are coumarins that contain one or more hydroxyl groups attached to the C7 position the coumarin skeleton. Demethylsuberosin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Demethylsuberosin can be found in a number of food items such as rice, apple, black radish, and cloudberry, which makes demethylsuberosin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 7-hydroxycoumarins. These are coumarins that contain one or more hydroxyl groups attached to the C7 position the coumarin skeleton.
