The molecule is a furanocoumarin that is 2,3-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]coumarin substituted by a hydroxy group at position 7, methyl groups at positions 2 and 3 (relatively trans configuration) and a 4,8-dimethyl-4(E),7-nonadien-6-onyl moiety at position 2. Isolated from the roots of Ferula fukanensis, it inhibits production of nitric oxide (NO). It has a role as a metabolite and an EC 1.14.13.39 (nitric oxide synthase) inhibitor. It is a furanocoumarin, a ketone, a member of phenols and a sesquiterpenoid.
