  <name>Myricanol</name>
  <description>Myricanol is a member of the class of compounds known as meta,meta-bridged biphenyls. Meta,meta-bridged biphenyls are cyclic diarylheptanoids where the two aryl groups are linked to each other by an ether group conjugated to their 3-position. Myricanol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Myricanol can be found in anise, which makes myricanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
