Dihydrokavain is one of the six major kavalactones found in the kava plant.[1] It appears to contribute significantly to the anxiolytic effects of kava, based on a study in chicks.[2]

Dihydrokavain bears some structural similarity to the strobilurins and has some fungicidal activity.[3]

An analogue of the molecule was also shown to improve glycemic control by modulating AMPK target genes expression in fruit flies.[4]
