The molecule is a polyphenol which is the benzoate ester obtained by formal condensation of the hydroxy ester derivative produced by the successive intermolecular condensation of 3 molecules of 2,4-dihydroxy-6-(2-hydroxypropyl)benzoic acid with the carboxy OH of o-orsellinic acid. It is isolated from the Fungus strain no.17415 and exhibits activity against the infectivity of influenza A virus. It has a role as a metabolite and an EC 3.2.1.18 (exo-alpha-sialidase) inhibitor. It is a polyphenol and a benzoate ester. It derives from an o-orsellinic acid.
