Definition
Ent-kaur-16-en-19-oate is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Ent-kaur-16-en-19-oate can be found in a number of food items such as tronchuda cabbage, garden rhubarb, quince, and spelt, which makes ent-kaur-16-en-19-oate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as kaurane diterpenoids. These 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.
