Common NameDihydromethysticin
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionDihydromethysticin is found in beverages. Dihydromethysticin is isolated from Piper methysticum (kava). FDA advises against use of kava in food due to potential risk of severe liver damage (2002) Dihydromethysticin is one of the six major kavalactones found in the kava plant

Chemical Taxonomy
Description belongs to the class of organic compounds known as kavalactones. These are lactones, which is structurally characterized by a benzene ring and a pyranone moiety, linked to each other to form a 4-methoxy-6-(2-phenylethyl)-2H-pyran-2-one skeleton.
