The molecule is an (omega-1)-hydroxy fatty acid ascaroside that is ascr#32 in which the pro-R hydrogen that is beta to the carboxy group is replaced by a hydroxy group. 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, a 3-hydroxy carboxylic acid and a monocarboxylic acid. It derives from an ascr#32 and a (R,R)-3,17-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a bhas#32(1-).
(3R,17R)-17-[(2R,3R,5R,6S)-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyloxan-2-yl]oxy-3-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid
