Inermin, also known as maackiain, belongs to a class of organic compounds known as pterocarpans. These are benzo-pyrano-furano-benzene compounds, containing the 6H-[1]benzofuro[3,2-c]chromene skeleton. They are derivatives of isoflavonoids. Inermin is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Outside of the human body, inermin has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as boysenberries, dandelions, celery leaves, chicory leaves, and turnips. This could make it a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
