7-Hydroxy-3,4,8-trimethyl-2H-chromen-2-one is a natural antioxidant that can provide resistance to the effects of oxidative stress in bacteria. It also has an extracellular role as a reductant and radical scavenger. The compound is insoluble in water and resistant to acid, making it well suited for use in organic solvents. The compound acts as a natural antioxidant by donating hydrogen atoms to free radicals, which prevents the propagation of the radical chain reaction. 7-Hydroxy-3,4,8-trimethyl-2H-chromen-2-one is found in many plants and fruits such as rhubarb and cranberries.
