  <name>Lithospermic acid</name>
  <description>Lithospermic acid, also known as lithospermate, is a member of the class of compounds known as 2-arylbenzofuran flavonoids. 2-arylbenzofuran flavonoids are phenylpropanoids containing the 2-phenylbenzofuran moiety. Lithospermic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Lithospermic acid can be found in common thyme and peppermint, which makes lithospermic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. </description>
