PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
(Z)-3-butylidenephthalide is a gamma-lactone that is phthalide substituted by a butylidene group at position 3. Isolated from Ligusticum porteri, it exhibits hypoglycemic activity. It has a role as a metabolite, a hypoglycemic agent and an EC 3.2.1.20 (alpha-glucosidase) inhibitor. It is a member of 2-benzofurans and a gamma-lactone. It is functionally related to a 2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one.
