Peucedanin

6-Hydroxy-2-isopropyl-3-methoxy-5-benzofuranacrylic acid delta-lactone

C15H14O4 (258.0892044)


Peucedanin, also known as 2-isopropyl-3-methoxy-7h-furo[3,2-g]chromen-7-one or 4-methoxy-5-isopropylfuro(2,3:6,7)coumarin, is a member of the class of compounds known as psoralens. Psoralens are organic compounds containing a psoralen moiety, which consists of a furan fused to a chromenone to for 7H-furo[3,2-g]chromen-7-one. Peucedanin is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Peucedanin can be found in carrot, chervil, and wild carrot, which makes peucedanin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
