carthamine [Supplementary Concept]
composed of two chalcones; from Carthamus tinctorius; the conjugated bonds cause a red color; derived from precarthamin by a decarboxylase; do not confuse with carthamidin
Date introduced: January 24, 1997
Chalcones
Derivatives of CHALCONE that are important intermediates in the formation of FLAVONOIDS with anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor properties.
Year introduced: 2005
Propiophenones
Propiophenone (ethyl phenyl ketone, structural formula C6H5COCH2CH3) and its derivatives. They are commonly used in perfumes and pharmaceuticals.
Organic Chemicals
A broad class of substances containing carbon and its derivatives. Many of these chemicals will frequently contain hydrogen with or without oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and other elements. They exist in either carbon chain or carbon ring form.
Year introduced: 1998
Ketones
Organic compounds containing a carbonyl group =C=O bonded to two hydrocarbon groups.
Heterocyclic Compounds, 2-Ring
A class of heterocyclic compounds that include a two-ring fused structure. Both aromatic and non-aromatic ring structures are included in this category.
Heterocyclic Compounds
Cyclic compounds that include atoms other than carbon in their ring structure.
Glycosides
Any compound that contains a constituent sugar, in which the hydroxyl group attached to the first carbon is substituted by an alcoholic, phenolic, or other group. They are named specifically for the sugar contained, such as glucoside (glucose), pentoside (pentose), fructoside (fructose), etc. Upon hydrolysis, a sugar and nonsugar component (aglycone) are formed. (From Dorland, 28th ed; From Miall's Dictionary of Chemistry, 5th ed)
Glucosides
A GLYCOSIDE that is derived from GLUCOSE.
Year introduced: 1991(1975)
Flavonoids
A group of phenyl benzopyrans named for having structures like FLAVONES.
Year introduced: 2004(1963)
Chromones
Carbohydrates
A class of organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of Cn(H2O)n. The largest class of organic compounds, including STARCH; GLYCOGEN; CELLULOSE; POLYSACCHARIDES; and simple MONOSACCHARIDES.
Year introduced: /metabolism was CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM 1963-1965
Benzopyrans
Compounds with a core of fused benzo-pyran rings.
Year introduced: 1966
Heterocyclic Compounds, Fused-Ring
Multiple ring heterocyclic compounds containing two or more rings that share two atoms and one bond in common.
Year introduced: 2017
