Pelargonidin 3-glucoside

Pelargonidin 3-glucoside, also known as callistephin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as anthocyanidin-3-o-glycosides. These are phenolic compounds containing one anthocyanidin moiety which is O-glycosidically linked to a carbohydrate moiety at the C3-position. Pelargonidin 3-glucoside is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). An anthocyanin cation consisting of pelargonidin having a beta-D-glucosyl residue attached at the 3-hydroxy position. Pelargonidin 3-glucoside is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.
