The molecule is a triterpenoid saponin that is the tetrasaccharide derivative of oleanolic acid. Isolated from the roots of Pulsatilla chinensis, it exhibits antineoplastic activity. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent and a plant metabolite. It is a pentacyclic triterpenoid, a tetrasaccharide derivative and a triterpenoid saponin. It derives from an oleanolic acid. It derives from a hydride of an oleanane.
