Definition
Sativan, also known as sativin or (-)-sativan, is a member of the class of compounds known as 4'-o-methylated isoflavonoids. 4'-o-methylated isoflavonoids are isoflavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C4' atom of the isoflavonoid backbone. Isoflavonoids are natural products derived from 3-phenylchromen-4-one. Sativan is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Sativan can be found in pulses, which makes sativan a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
