5,7-Dihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxy-3,5-bis(3-methyl-2-butenyl)phenyl)-2,3-dihy dro-4H-chromen-4-one

Abyssinone V is a prenylated flavonoid with predicted anti-viral activity. Abyssinone V can be isolated from the stem bark of Erythrina melanacantha. Abyssinone V possesses good pharmacodynamics properties. Abyssinone V is predicted to be antivirals including anti-herpes (HSV) agent, with mechanisms comprising inhibition of polymerase, ATPase and membrane integrity[1][2].

ChEBI: A trihydroxyflavanone that is flavanone substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 5, 7 and 4' and prenyl groups at positions 3' and 5' respectively.
