Chemical Information
FooDB Name(-)-Arctigenin
Description(-)-Arctigenin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dibenzylbutyrolactone lignans. These are lignan compounds containing a 3,4-dibenzyloxolan-2-one moiety (-)-Arctigenin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within burdocks (Arctium lappa) and sesames (Sesamum orientale) (-)-Arctigenin has also been detected, but not quantified in, cardoons (Cynara cardunculus) and grape wine. This could make (-)-arctigenin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on (-)-Arctigenin.
