The molecule is a member of the class of isoflavans that is isoflavan with a hydroxy group at position 4, a methyl group at position 7 and a methoxy group at position 2' (the 3R,4S stereoisomer). It is isolated from Caragana conferta and exhibits significant anti-inflammatory activity in the respiratory burst assay. It has a role as a metabolite and an anti-inflammatory agent. It is a secondary alcohol, a monomethoxybenzene, a member of hydroxyisoflavans and a methoxyisoflavan.
