Natural Product Identification
Common NameAfrormosin
DescriptionAlfalone belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 7-o-methylisoflavones. These are isoflavones with methoxy groups attached to the C7 atom of the isoflavone backbone. Thus, alfalone is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Alfalone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Outside of the human body, Alfalone has been detected, but not quantified in, alfalfa and pulses. Afrormosin is found in Afrormosia elata, Amphimas pterocarpoides, Andira inermis , Astragalus clusii, Baptisia arachnifera, Baptisia australis, Baptisia bracteata, Baptisia cinerea, Baptisia lanceolata, Baptisia lecontei, Baptisia megacarpa, Baptisia nuttalliana, Baptisia perfoliata, Baptisia simplicifolia, Baptisia tinctoria , Castanea mollissima , Castanospermum australe , Centrosema haitiense, Centrosema pubescens, Cladrastis kentukea, Cladrastis platycarpa, Cladrastis sikokiana, Dalbergia frutescens, Dipteryx odorata , Gliricidia sepium , Glycyrrhiza glabra , Glycyrrhiza pallidiflora, Medicago truncatula, Millettia dielsiana, Millettia reticulata , Myrocarpus fastigiatus, Myroxylon balsamum , Myroxylon peruiferum , Onobrychis viciifolia , Pericopsis elata , Pericopsis mooniana, Pterodon apparicioi, Rhodomyrtus tomentosa , Spatholobus suberectus , Taverniera abyssinica , Wisteria brachybotrys and Wisteria floribunda . This could make alfalone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
