Echinocystic acid
Echinocystic acid, also known as echinocystate, is a member of the class of compounds known as triterpenoids. Triterpenoids are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Echinocystic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Echinocystic acid can be found in sunflower, which makes echinocystic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Echinocystic acid is a pentacyclic triterpene extracted from the fruit of Honey Locust. It has strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties.
