The molecule is an (omega-1)-hydroxy fatty acid ascaroside that is ascr#10 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 as well as the sour paste nematode, Panagrellus redivivus. It has a role as a Caenorhabditis elegans metabolite. It is an (omega-1)-hydroxy fatty acid ascaroside, a monocarboxylic acid and a 3-hydroxy carboxylic acid. It derives from an ascr#10 and a (3R,8R)-3,8-dihydroxynonanoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a bhas#10(1-).
(3R,8R)-8-[(2R,3R,5R,6S)-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyloxan-2-yl]oxy-3-hydroxynonanoic acid
