Metabolite Identification
Common NameMorusin
DescriptionMorusin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 3-prenylated flavones. These are flavones that features a C5-isoprenoid substituent at the 3-position. Thus, morusin is considered to be a flavonoid. Morusin has been detected, but not quantified in, fruits. This could make morusin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Morusin 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 small amount of articles have been published on Morusin.
