  <name>Dehydrocostus lactone</name>
  <description>Dehydrocostus lactone, also known as dehydro-alpha-curcumene, belongs to guaianolides and derivatives class of compounds. Those are diterpene lactones with a structure characterized by the presence of a gamma-lactone fused to a guaiane, forming 3,6,9-trimethyl-azuleno[4,5-b]furan-2-one or a derivative. Dehydrocostus lactone is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Dehydrocostus lactone can be found in burdock and sweet bay, which makes dehydrocostus lactone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.</description>
