The molecule is an (omega-1)-hydroxy fatty acid ascaroside obtained by formal condensation of the alcoholic hydroxy group of (2E,10R)-10-hydroxyundec-2-enoic 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 alpha,beta-unsaturated monocarboxylic acid and an (omega-1)-hydroxy fatty acid ascaroside. It derives from a (2E,10R)-10-hydroxyundec-2-enoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of an ascr#17(1-).
(E)-10-(3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyloxan-2-yl)oxyundec-2-enoic acid
