  <name>Spinasterone</name>
  <description>Spinasterone belongs to stigmastanes and derivatives class of compounds. Those are sterol lipids with a structure based on the stigmastane skeleton, which consists of a cholestane moiety bearing an ethyl group at the carbon atom C24. Spinasterone is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Spinasterone can be found in tea, which makes spinasterone a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
