A natural phenolic compound that has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral biological activities; scavenges DPPH radicals in a cell-free assay (IC50 = 71.8 μM); inhibits superoxide production in fMLF- and cytochalasin B-activated human neutrophils (IC50 = 1.92 μM); inhibits HIV-1 integrase 3’-end processing, strand transfer, and disintegration in a cell-free assay (IC50s = 0.33, 0.34, and 0.66 μg/ml, respectively); inhibits HIV-1-induced cytotoxicity in MT-2 cells (ED50 = 1 μg/ml); protects mice from LPS-induced acute lung injury and decreases neutrophil count in BALF at 25 mg/kg
