Neoglucobrassicin

Neoglucobrassicin, also known as MIMG, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkylglucosinolates. These are organic compounds containing a glucosinolate moiety that carries an alkyl chain. Neoglucobrassicin is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Outside of the human body, Neoglucobrassicin has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as kohlrabis, broccoli, brassicas, cauliflowers, and capers. This could make neoglucobrassicin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Neoglucobrassicin is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.
