The molecule is a gallotannin obtained by acylation of the five hydroxy groups of D-glucose by 3,4-dihydroxy-5-[(3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoyl)oxy]benzoic acid (a gallic acid dimer). It has a role as a carcinogenic agent and a metabolite. It is a gallotannin, a D-glucoside and a monosaccharide derivative. It derives from a gallic acid.
