The molecule is a hydroperoxy fatty ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of (5Z,9E,11Z,14Z)-8-hydroperoxy-20-hydroxyicosa-5,9,11,14-tetraenoic acid with methanol. It is a hydroperoxy fatty ester, a fatty acid methyl ester, an omega-hydroxy fatty ester and a polyunsaturated fatty ester.
