The molecule is an organic peroxide, which is the 3-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl substituted derivative of the dimer obtained by oxidation at the 10-hydroxy position of (10S)-3,8,10-trihydroxy-1,7,10-trimethyl-9-oxo-9,10-dihydroanthracene-2-carboxylic acid. It is isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces. It has a role as a metabolite and an antimicrobial agent. It is an organic peroxide, a member of anthracenes, an alpha-D-galactoside, a dicarboxylic acid, a member of phenols and a monosaccharide derivative.
(10S)-10-[(9S)-3-carboxy-5-hydroxy-4,6,9-trimethyl-10-oxo-2-[(2R,3R,4S,5R,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-2-yl]oxyanthracen-9-yl]peroxy-3,8-dihydroxy-1,7,10-trimethyl-9-oxoanthracene-2-carboxylic acid
