The molecule is a spirostanyl glycoside that is isolated from Ophiopogon japonicus and exhibits antioxidant properties. It has a role as an antioxidant and a plant metabolite. It is a monosaccharide derivative, a spirostanyl glycoside, a spiroketal, an alpha-L-rhamnoside, a beta-D-fucoside, a hexacyclic triterpenoid and a triterpenoid saponin. It derives from a hydride of a spirostan.
