Definition
4',5,6,7-tetramethoxyflavone, also known as tetra-O-methylscutellarein or scutellarein tetramethyl ether, is a member of the class of compounds known as 7-o-methylated flavonoids. 7-o-methylated flavonoids are flavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C7 atom of the flavonoid backbone. Thus, 4',5,6,7-tetramethoxyflavone is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. 4',5,6,7-tetramethoxyflavone is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 4',5,6,7-tetramethoxyflavone can be found in common sage, which makes 4',5,6,7-tetramethoxyflavone a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 7-o-methylated flavonoids. These are flavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C7 atom of the flavonoid backbone.
