Common NameMajaronin
DescriptionMajoranin, also known as mucroflavone b or thymonin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 8-o-methylated flavonoids. These are flavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C8 atom of the flavonoid backbone. Thus, majoranin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Majoranin is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. A trimethoxyflavone that is flavone substituted by methoxy groups at positions 7, 8 and 3' and hydroxy groups at positions 5, 6 and 4'. Outside of the human body, Majoranin has been detected, but not quantified in, sweet marjorams. Majaronin is found in Acinos alpinus , Acinos suaveolens, Calamintha nepeta , Calamintha sylvatica , Madia capitata, Mentha longifolia , Mentha piperita, Mentha pulegium , Mentha suaveolens , Mentha spicata , Mentha spp. , Mentha x piperita, Micromeria spp., Origanum akhadarense, Origanum boissieri, Origanum calcaratum, Origanum dictamnus , Origanum floribundum, Origanum hypercifolium, Origanum intercedens, Origanum micranthum, Origanum microphyllum, Origanum onites , Origanum spp., Origanum syriacum , Origanum vulgare , Origanum vulgare subsp. Glandulosum , Origanum vulgare subsp. Hirtum , Satureja salzmannii, Tanacetopsis mucronata, Thymus caespititius , Thymus mastichina , Thymus saturejoides, Thymus vulgaris and Ziziphora clinopodioides. Majaronin was first documented in 2002 (PMID: 12776552). This could make majoranin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods (PMID: 20521531) (PMID: 22155596).
