Metabolite Identification
Common NameXanthomicrol
DescriptionXanthomicrol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 8-o-methylated flavonoids. These are flavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C8 atom of the flavonoid backbone. Thus, xanthomicrol is considered to be a flavonoid. Xanthomicrol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within sweet basils (Ocimum basilicum). Xanthomicrol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as citrus, herbs and spices, peppermints (Mentha X piperita), and winter savories (Satureja montana). This could make xanthomicrol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Xanthomicrol 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 Xanthomicrol.
