taxa-4(20),11-dien-5α-ol
Definition
Taxa-4(20),11-dien-5α-ol belongs to taxanes and derivatives class of compounds. Those are diterpenoids with a structure based either on the taxane skeleton, or a derivative thereof. In term of phytochemistry, several derivatives of the taxane skeleton exist: 2(3->20)-abeotaxane, 3,11-cyclotaxane, 11(15->1),11(10->9)-abeotaxane, 3,8-seco-taxane, and 11(15->1)-abeotaxane, among others. More complex skeletons have been found recently, which include the taxane-derived [3.3.3] propellane ring system. Taxa-4(20),11-dien-5α-ol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Taxa-4(20),11-dien-5α-ol can be found in a number of food items such as chives, saffron, european plum, and oyster mushroom, which makes taxa-4(20),11-dien-5α-ol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
