The molecule is an antiviral lignan isolated from the creosote bush, Larrea tridentata, which consists of a 3,4-dimethyltetrahydrofuran skeleton substituted by 4-hydroxyphenyl groups at positions 2 and 5 (the 2R,3R,4S,5R stereoisomer). It has a role as an antiviral agent and a metabolite. It is a lignan, a member of oxolanes and a member of phenols.
