The molecule is a member of the class of polyphenols consisting of a methylcyclohexene ring attached to a 2,4-dihydroxyphenyl, 2,4-dihydroxybenzoyl and 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde moieties at positions 5'', 4'' and 3'' respectively. Regarded biogenetically as a Diels-Alder adduct, it is isolated from the stem barks of Morus macroura and exhibits antioxidant activity. It has a role as an antioxidant and a plant metabolite. It is a polyphenol, an aromatic ketone and a dihydroxybenzaldehyde.
