  <name>6-Methylscutellarein</name>
  <description>6-methylscutellarein, also known as 4',5,7-trihydroxy-6-methoxyflavone or dinatin, is a member of the class of compounds known as 6-o-methylated flavonoids. 6-o-methylated flavonoids are flavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C6 atom of the flavonoid backbone. Thus, 6-methylscutellarein is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. 6-methylscutellarein is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 6-methylscutellarein can be found in a number of food items such as italian oregano, common sage, sunflower, and common thyme, which makes 6-methylscutellarein a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. </description>
