The molecule is a member of the class of 1-benzofurans which consists of 1-benzofuran substituted by methoxy groups at positions 4 and 6, a prenyl group at position 5 and a 2,4-dihydroxyphenyl group at position 2. It has been isolated from Glycyrrhiza uralensis. It has a role as an antibacterial agent and a plant metabolite. It is a member of 1-benzofurans, an aromatic ether and a member of resorcinols. It derives from a hydride of a 1-benzofuran.
