Metabolite Identification
Common Namebeta-Thujaplicin
Descriptionbeta-Thujaplicin, also known as hinokitiol or β-thujaplicin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tropolones. Tropolones are compounds containing tropone ring with a hydroxyl group at ring position 2. beta-Thujaplicin is a phenolic and woody tasting compound. beta-Thujaplicin has been detected, but not quantified in, fruits. This could make beta-thujaplicin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. beta-Thujaplicin 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 beta-Thujaplicin.
