What is the chemical structure of resveratrol (RSV), and what is its molecular weight?

Label:chem

Topic
Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol found in grapes, berries, and red wine, noted for its neuroprotective properties against Alzheimer's disease.
Answer
Resveratrol (RSV) is 3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene, with a molecular weight of 228.25 g/mol. Its structure features two phenol rings connected by a double styrene bond, containing three hydroxyl (-OH) groups that confer antioxidant and biological activity.
