Quebecol is a polyphenolic chemical compound that has been isolated from Canadian maple syrup.[1] It has the chemical formula C24H26O7 and the systematic name 2,3,3-tri-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanol. Analysis of maple sap before it is converted into syrup suggests that this compound is not naturally present in the sap but, instead, is formed during extraction or processing.[2] A total synthesis of the compound was reported in 2013.[3] Isoquebecol (2,3,3-tri-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-1-propanol) has an improved anti-inflammatory activity (ability to inhibit IL-6 secretion) over that of its natural isomer quebecol.[4]
The chemical compound has been named in honour of the Canadian province of Quebec which is the world’s largest producer of maple syrup.
