Identification
Common NameCucurbitacin A
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionCucurbitacin a is a member of the class of compounds known as cucurbitacins. Cucurbitacins are polycyclic compounds containing the tetracyclic cucurbitane nucleus skeleton, 19-(10->9b)-abeo-10alanost-5-ene (also known as 9b-methyl-19-nor lanosta-5-ene), with a variety of oxygenation functionalities at different positions. Cucurbitacin a is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Cucurbitacin a can be found in cucumber, which makes cucurbitacin a a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
