The molecule is methyl ester of 8-(tetracyclo[6.4.0.0(2,7).0(3,6)]dodec-10-yl)octanoate, an octanoic acid, which is terminally substituted by [3]-ladderane, a structure consisting out of three fused butane rings and one fused hexane ring. Ladderane fatty acid methyl esters are core lipids of anammox bacteria. It is a ladderane and a fatty acid methyl ester. It derives from a methyl octanoate.
