描述
Irigenin, also known as 5,7,3'-trihydroxy-6,4',5'-trimethoxyisoflavone, is a member of the class of compounds known as 3'-hydroxy,4'-methoxyisoflavonoids. 3'-hydroxy,4'-methoxyisoflavonoids are isoflavonoids carrying a methoxy group attached to the C4' atom, as well as a hydroxyl group at the C3'-position of the isoflavonoid backbone. Thus, irigenin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Irigenin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Irigenin can be synthesized from isoflavone. Irigenin can also be synthesized into iridin. Irigenin can be found in lima bean, which makes irigenin a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Irigenin is an O-methylated isoflavone, a type of flavonoid. It can be isolated from the rhizomes of the leopard lily (Belamcanda chinensis), and Iris kemaonensis .
