Fagopyrin is a term used for several closely related naturally occurring substances in the buckwheat plant. [1] Their chemical structure contains a naphthodianthrone skeleton similar to that of hypericin. [2]
Fagopyrin is located almost exclusively in the cotyledons of the buckwheat herb. When ingested, fagopyrins cause sensitivity to light. [3]
