Notholaenic acid is a
dihydrostilbenoid found in the farina of some ferns of the genus Notholaena.[1] It has been shown to have anti-
HSV-1 (Herpes simplex virus 1) activity at high concentrations in vitro.[2] It was artificially synthesized, starting from 3-benzyloxy-5-methoxybenzyl alcohol, in 1985.[3]
