Theasaponin F1
3,8,10,12-tetrahydroxy-1-methyl-11-oxo-6,11-dihydrotetracene-2-carboxylic acid
Theasaponin f1, also known as tcm f1, is a member of the class of compounds known as naphthacenes. Naphthacenes are compounds containing a naphthacene moiety, which is a polyaromatic hydrocarbon made of four linearly fused benzene rings. Theasaponin f1 is practically insoluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Theasaponin f1 can be found in tea, which makes theasaponin f1 a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
