Oxyresveratrol is a stilbenoid found in several plant species. It is found in only one gymnosperm (Gnetum hainensis), but in several angiosperm (particularly in the genera Artocarpus and Morus).^[1] Oxyresveratrol is found in the traditional Thai drug 'Puag-Haad', which is made from the heartwood of Artocarpus lakoocha.^[2] It is also the aglycone of mulberroside A, a compound found in Morus alba, the white mulberry.^[3]
