Uses
(+)-Epipinoresinol is a lignan compound. CYP81Q3 specifically catalyzes methylenedioxy bridge (MDB) formation in (+)-Epipinoresinol to produce (+)-Pluviatilol[1].
Definition
ChEBI: Epipinoresinol is an enantiomer of pinoresinol having (+)-(1R,3aR,4S,6aR)-configuration. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a marine metabolite.
