The molecule is a tetramethoxyflavone that is myricetin in which the hydroxy groups at positions 3, 3', 4' and 5' are replaced by methoxy groups. It is isolated from Bridelia ferruginea, a subtropical medicinal plant widely used in traditional African medicine. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a tetramethoxyflavone, a dihydroxyflavone and a member of 3'-methoxyflavones. It derives from a myricetin.
