The molecule is a member of the class of chalcones that is trans-chalcone substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 4, 2' and 4', a methoxy group at position 6' and a 3-hydroxy-3-methylbut-1-en-1-yl group at position 3'. It has been isolated from the aerial parts of Tephrosia candida. It has a role as a metabolite and a plant metabolite. It is a member of chalcones, a member of resorcinols, a tertiary alcohol and a monomethoxybenzene. It derives from a trans-chalcone.
