(-)-Lariciresinol
Definition
(-)-lariciresinol is a member of the class of compounds known as 7,9'-epoxylignans. 7,9'-epoxylignans are lignans that contain the 7,9'-epoxylignan skeleton, which consists of a tetrahydrofuran that carries a phenyl group, a methyl group, and a benzyl group at the 2-, 3-, 4-position, respectively (-)-lariciresinol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). (-)-lariciresinol can be found in a number of food items such as cassava, acorn, celeriac, and banana, which makes (-)-lariciresinol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
