The molecule is a pentacyclic triterpenoid that is 9beta,19-cyclolanostane substituted by an oxo group at position 3 and hydroxy groups at positions 7, 23R*, 24S*, 25 and 28. It has been isolated from the leaves of Combretum quadrangulare. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a pentol, a cyclic terpene ketone, a pentacyclic triterpenoid, a 3-oxo-5alpha-steroid and a 4alpha-hydroxymethyl steroid. It derives from a hydride of a cycloartane.
