Ferruginol
Ferruginol is a natural phenol with a terpenoid substructure. Specifically, it is a diterpene of the abietane chemical class, meaning it is characterized by three fused six-membered rings and alkyl functional groups. Ferruginol was first identified in 1939 by Brandt and Neubauer as the main component in the resin of the Prumnopitys ferruginea, Miro tree (''Podocarpus ferrugneus)'' and has since been isolated from other conifer species in the families ''Cupressaceae'' and ''Podocarpaceae''. As a biomarker, the presence of ferruginol in fossils, mainly resin, is used to describe the density of these conifers in that particular biosphere throughout time. Background Ferruginol is a phenolic abietene, a type of tricyclic diterpenoid derived from terrestrial plants. It has a molecular composition of C20H30O with a molecular weight of 286 g/mole. Along with its presence in the ''Verbenaceae'' family, it has been found in a variety of conifer families including ''Podocarpaceae,'' the anc ...
