Cirsimaritin
Cirsimaritin, also known as 4,5-dihydroxy-6,7-dimethoxyflavone or scrophulein, 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, cirsimaritin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Cirsimaritin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Cirsimaritin can be found in a number of food items such as italian oregano, lemon verbena, winter savory, and rosemary, which makes cirsimaritin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
