Description	Calamene is a member of the class of compounds known as purine nucleosides. Purine nucleosides are compounds comprising a purine base attached to a ribosyl or deoxyribosyl moiety. Calamene is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Calamene can be found in a number of food items such as common oregano, star anise, german camomile, and sweet bay, which makes calamene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
