Chemical Information
NameSecoisolariciresinol
DescriptionSecoisolariciresinol is a member of the class of compounds known as dibenzylbutanediol lignans. Dibenzylbutanediol lignans are lignan compounds containing a 2,3-dibenzylbutane-1,4-diol moiety. Secoisolariciresinol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Secoisolariciresinol can be found in a number of food items such as barley, wheat bread, broad bean, and poppy, which makes secoisolariciresinol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Secoisolariciresinol is a lignan, a type of phenylpropanoid. It is present in the water extract of silver fir wood, where its content is more than 5 % .
