| Common Name | Cajanol |

| Description | Cajanol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 7-o-methylated isoflavonoids. These are isoflavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C7 atom of the isoflavonoid backbone. Isoflavonoids are natural products derived from 3-phenylchromen-4-one. Thus, cajanol is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Cajanol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Outside of the human body, Cajanol has been detected, but not quantified in, pigeon pea and pulses. Cajanol is found in Crotalaria lachnophora, Dunbaria villosa, Eriophorum scheuchzeri, Mucuna pruriens and Stizolobium deeringianum. Cajanol was first documented in 2011 (PMID: 20803417). This could make cajanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. |
