  <description>2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethoxy-4h-chromen-4-one, also known as 3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxy-3,6-dimethoxyflavone or 3,6-dimethoxyquercetagetin, 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, 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethoxy-4h-chromen-4-one is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethoxy-4h-chromen-4-one is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethoxy-4h-chromen-4-one can be found in german camomile, which makes 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethoxy-4h-chromen-4-one a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
