Chemical Information
FooDB NameGenkwanin
DescriptionGenkwanin, also known as 5,4'-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavone or 7-methylapigenin, is a member of the class of compounds known as 7-o-methylated flavonoids. 7-o-methylated flavonoids are flavonoids with methoxy groups attached to the C7 atom of the flavonoid backbone. Thus, genkwanin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Genkwanin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Genkwanin is a bitter tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as winter savory, sweet basil, rosemary, and common sage, which makes genkwanin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Genkwanin is an O-methylated flavone, a type of flavonoid. It can be found in the seeds of Alnus glutinosa, and the leaves of the ferns Notholaena bryopoda and Asplenium normale .
