The molecule is a member of the class of pterocarpans that is (6aR,11aR)-pterocarpan substituted by a hydroxy group at position 9, a methoxy group at position 3 and a prenyl group at position 2. Isolated from Erythrina glauca and Erythrina burttii, it exhibits anti-HIV activity. It has a role as an anti-HIV agent and a plant metabolite. It is a member of pterocarpans, a member of phenols and an aromatic ether. It derives from a (6aR,11aR)-pterocarpan.
