The molecule is an azaphilone that is the ester obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 2,4-dimethylhexanoic acid with the tertiary hydroxy group of 7-hydroxy-3-(1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-7-methyl-6H-2-benzopyran-6,8(7H)-dione. It has a role as an Aspergillus metabolite. It is an azaphilone, a beta-diketone, a 2-benzopyran, a carboxylic ester, a cyclic ketone, a polyketide, a glycol and a secondary alcohol.
