  <name>Arctic acid</name>
  <description>Arctic acid, also known as arctate, is a member of the class of compounds known as bi- and oligothiophenes. Bi- and oligothiophenes are organic compounds containing two or more linked thiophene rings. Thiophene is a five-member aromatic ring with one sulfur and four carbon atoms. Arctic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Arctic acid can be found in burdock, which makes arctic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
