Nuatigenin
5-(hydroxymethyl)-5,7,9,13-tetramethyl-5-oxaspiro[oxolane-2,6-pentacyclo[10.8.0.0²,⁹.0⁴,⁸.0¹³,¹⁸]icosan]-18-en-16-ol
Nuatigenin belongs to furospirostanes and derivatives class of compounds. Those are heterocyclic steroids containing a furospirostane moiety, which a skeleton characterized by the presence of a 1,6-dioxaspiro[4.4]nonane ring system and an androstane moiety. Nuatigenin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Nuatigenin can be found in oat, which makes nuatigenin a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
