The molecule is an (omega-1)-hydroxy fatty acid ascaroside obtained by obtained by formal condensation of the alcoholic hydroxy group of (24R)-2-methylpentacosanoic acid with ascarylopyranose (the alpha anomer). It is a metabolite of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. It has a role as a Caenorhabditis elegans metabolite. It is an (omega-1)-hydroxy fatty acid ascaroside and a monocarboxylic acid.
