The molecule is a biflavonoid that is obtained by oxidative coupling of two molecules of apigenin resulting in a bond between positions C-6 and C-8 of the two chromene rings. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, an antiviral agent, a hepatoprotective agent and a metabolite. It is a biflavonoid, a hydroxyflavone and a biaryl.
