Definition
Pinostrobin, also known as 5-hydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone, 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, pinostrobin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Pinostrobin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Pinostrobin can be found in a number of food items such as roman camomile, soursop, rocket salad, and angelica, which makes pinostrobin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
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.
