The molecule is an enone that is (4E,6E,8E,10E,12E)-8-methyl-13-phenyltrideca-4,6,8,10,12-pentaene in which the two methylene hydrogens at position 3 have been replaced by an oxo group. Originally isolated from Aspergillus niger. It has a role as an Aspergillus metabolite, a lipoxygenase inhibitor and a platelet aggregation inhibitor.
