Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlycyrol
DescriptionGlycyrol, also known as neoglycyrol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as coumestans. These are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing a coumestan moiety, which consists of a benzoxole fused to a chromen-2-one to form 1-Benzoxolo[3,2-c]chromen-6-one. They are oxidation products of pterocarpan. Glycyrol has been detected, but not quantified in, root vegetables. This could make glycyrol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Glycyrol is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Glycyrol.
