The molecule is a dihydroxyflavanone that is 5,7-dihydroxyflavanone substituted by a prenyloxy group at position 4' (the 2S stereoisomer). Isolated from Selinum vaginatum and Monotes engleri, it exhibits antifungal activity. It has a role as an antifungal agent and a plant metabolite. It is a dihydroxyflavanone, an aromatic ether and a (2S)-flavan-4-one. It derives from a (S)-naringenin.
