The molecule is an L-alanine derivative in which one of the methyl hydrogens of L-alanine is replaced by a 5-hydroxy-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptan-2-yl group. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite. It is a L-alanine derivative, an epoxide, a non-proteinogenic L-alpha-amino acid, an oxabicycloalkane and a secondary alcohol. It is a tautomer of a L-dihydroanticapsin zwitterion.
