4-β-D-Glucopyranosyloxybenzeneethanol

Icariside D2, isolated from Annona glabra fruit, inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme. Icariside D2 shows significant cytotoxic activity on the HL-60 cell line with the IC50 value of 9.0 ± 1.0 μM. Icariside D2 induces apoptosis [1][2].

ChEBI: Icariside D2 is a glycoside.
