Synonyms:	(2S)-2-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-8-[(2S)-2-hydroxy-3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl]-5,7-dimethoxy-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one
Definition:	An extended flavonoid that is 3',4'-methylenedioxyflavanone substituted by methoxy groups at positions 5 and 7 and a 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-3-butenyl moiety at position 8 (the 2S stereoisomer).
