| Common Name | Morachalcone A |
|---|
| Description | Morachalcone A belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 3-prenylated chalcones. These are chalcones featuring a C5-isoprenoid unit at the 3-position. Thus, morachalcone a is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Morachalcone A is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Outside of the human body, Morachalcone A has been detected, but not quantified in, breadfruits and fruits. Morachalcone A is found in Artocarpus integer, Broussonetia papyrifera, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Maclura pomifera, Morus alba , Morus mesozygia and Morus nigra. Morachalcone A was first documented in 2025 (PMID: 40967480). This could make morachalcone a a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. |
