Juncusol is a 9,10-dihydrophrenathrene found in Juncus species such as J. acutus,[1] J. effusus[2][3] or J. roemerianus.[4][5]

It can also be synthetized.[6][7][8]

This compound shows antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus.[4] It also has a toxic effect on estuarine fish and shrimp.[9]
