Natural Product Identification
Common NamePhytane
DescriptionPhytane belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyclic diterpenoids. These are diterpenoids (compounds made of four consecutive isoprene units) that do not contain a cycle. Thus, phytane is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Phytane is found in Carica papaya , Cynomorium songaricum and Polygonum minus. Phytane is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
