Description	[4]-gingerdiol is a member of the class of compounds known as gingerdiols. Gingerdiols are compounds containing a gingerdiol moiety, which is structurally characterized by a 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl group substituted at the C6 carbon atom by an alkane-2,4-diol. [4]-gingerdiol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). [4]-gingerdiol can be found in ginger, which makes [4]-gingerdiol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
