Metabolite Identification
Common NameChrysophanol
DescriptionChrysophanol, also known as chrysophanic acid or 3-methylchrysazin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as anthraquinones. These are organic compounds containing either anthracene-9,10-quinone, 1,4-anthraquinone, or 1,2-anthraquinone. Thus, chrysophanol is considered to be an aromatic polyketide. Chrysophanol has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as docks (Rumex), garden rhubarbs (Rheum rhabarbarum), and sorrels (Rumex acetosa). This could make chrysophanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Chrysophanol 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 Chrysophanol.
