Metabolite Identification
Common NameSecoisolariciresinol
DescriptionSecoisolariciresinol, also known as knotolan, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dibenzylbutanediol lignans. These are lignan compounds containing a 2,3-dibenzylbutane-1,4-diol moiety. Secoisolariciresinol has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao), swiss chards (Beta vulgaris ssp. cicla), tartary buckwheats (Fagopyrum tataricum), chanterelles (Cantharellus cibarius), and kohlrabis (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes). This could make secoisolariciresinol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Secoisolariciresinol is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Secoisolariciresinol.
