Rhamnazin
Rhamnacene is a dimethoxyflavone that is quercetin in which the hydroxy groups at the 3 and 7 positions have been replaced by methoxy groups. It has a role as a plant metabolite and an antineoplastic agent. It is a dimethoxyflavone, a trihydroxyflavone, an aromatic ether and a member of phenols. It is functionally related to a quercetin. It is a conjugate acid of a rhamnacene-3-olate. Rhamnazin is a natural product found in Ammi visnaga, Nymphoides indica, and other organisms with data available. A dimethoxyflavone that is quercetin in which the hydroxy groups at the 3 and 7 positions have been replaced by methoxy groups. Rhamnazin, also known as 3,7-dimethylquercetin or 3,5,4-trihydroxy-7,3-dimethoxyflavone, is a member of the class of compounds known as flavonols. Flavonols are compounds that contain a flavone (2-phenyl-1-benzopyran-4-one) backbone carrying a hydroxyl group at the 3-position. Thus, rhamnazin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Rhamnazin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Rhamnazin can be synthesized from quercetin. Rhamnazin can also be synthesized into viscumneoside VII and viscumneoside IV. Rhamnazin can be found in lemon balm, which makes rhamnazin a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Rhamnazin is an O-methylated flavonol, a type of chemical compound. It can be found in Rhamnus petiolaris, a buckthorn plant endemic to Sri Lanka .
