Chemical Information
FooDB NamePterostilbene
DescriptionPterostilbene is a member of the class of compounds known as stilbenes. Stilbenes are organic compounds containing a 1,2-diphenylethylene moiety. Stilbenes (C6-C2-C6 ) are derived from the common phenylpropene (C6-C3) skeleton building block. The introduction of one or more hydroxyl groups to a phenyl ring lead to stilbenoids. Pterostilbene is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Pterostilbene can be found in common grape and grape wine, which makes pterostilbene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Pterostilbene is a stilbenoid chemically related to resveratrol. In plants, it serves a defensive phytoalexin role .
