描述
1,3-dihydroxy-n-methylacridone is a member of the class of compounds known as acridones. Acridones are acridines containing a ketone group attached to the C9 carbon atom of the acridine moiety. 1,3-dihydroxy-n-methylacridone is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 1,3-dihydroxy-n-methylacridone can be found in a number of food items such as canada blueberry, italian oregano, cashew nut, and pepper (c. annuum), which makes 1,3-dihydroxy-n-methylacridone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
