Natural Product Identification
Common NameFerreirin
DescriptionFerreirin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 4'-o-methylated isoflavonoids. These are isoflavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C4' atom of the isoflavonoid backbone. Isoflavonoids are natural products derived from 3-phenylchromen-4-one. Thus, ferreirin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Ferreirin is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Ferreirin exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, Ferreirin has been detected, but not quantified in, pigeon pea and pulses. This could make ferreirin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Ferreirin is found in Diphysa americana, Diphysa robinioides, Ferreirea spectabilis, Gynerium sagittatum , Haplormosia monophylla and Swartzia polyphylla. Ferreirin was first documented in 1976 (PMID: 136119). A hydroxyisoflavanone that is isoflavanone substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 5, 7 and 2' and a methoxy group at position 4' respectively (PMID: 7623042) (PMID: 17442349).
