The molecule is a pentacyclic triterpenoid that is olean-12-ene substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 3, 16, 21, 22 and 28 (the 3beta,16alpha,21beta,22alpha stereoisomer). It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a pentacyclic triterpenoid, a pentol and a sapogenin. It derives from a hydride of an oleanane.
