The molecule is a member of the class of 4-pyridones that is 4-pyridone in which the hydrogens at positions 3 and 6 have been replaced by aminocarbonyl and benzyl groups, respectively. It has been isolated from the Cynodon dactylon-associated endophytic fungus Cladosporium herbarum IFB-E002 and from a sponge-derived Aspergillus niger. It has a role as an Aspergillus metabolite. It is a member of 4-pyridones, a monocarboxylic acid amide and an alkaloid.
