Natural Product Identification
Common Name8-methylherbacetin
Description3,5,7-Trihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-8-methoxy-4H-chromen-4-one, also known as herbacetin 8-methyl ether or 3,5,7,4'-tetrahydroxy-8-methoxyflavone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as flavonols. Flavonols are compounds that contain a flavone (2-phenyl-1-benzopyran-4-one) backbone carrying a hydroxyl group at the 3-position. Thus, 3,5,7-trihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-8-methoxy-4H-chromen-4-one is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. 8-methylherbacetin is found in Askidiosperma paniculatum, Camellia japonica, Crataegus monogyna, Crataegus pinnatifida, Crataegus sanguinea, Dorycnium pentaphyllum, Enceliopsis nudicaulis, Eupatorium gracile, Fagonia mollis, Lotus corniculatus , Ozothamnus spp., Randonia africana, Rhodiola crenulata, Rhodiola rosea, Sorbus intermedia, Sedum grisebachii and Sedum sexangulare. 8-methylherbacetin was first documented in 2009 (PMID: 19683245). 3,5,7-Trihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-8-methoxy-4H-chromen-4-one is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
