The molecule is a member of the class of dihydrochalcones that is 1,3-diphenylpropan-1-one in which the phenyl group that is bonded to the carbonyl group is substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 2 and 4, an o-hydroxybenzyl group at position 3, and a methoxy group at position 6. A cytotoxic natural product found particularly in Uvaria acuminata and Uvaria chamae. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent and a plant metabolite. It is a resorcinol, an aromatic ether, a polyketide and a member of dihydrochalcones.
