描述
4'-methylgenkwanin, also known as apigenin dimethylether or 4',7-dimethylapigenin, 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, 4'-methylgenkwanin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. 4'-methylgenkwanin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 4'-methylgenkwanin can be found in common sage and sweet basil, which makes 4'-methylgenkwanin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
