The molecule is a pentacyclic triterpenoid that is urs-12-ene substituted by a carboxy group at position 28 and hydroxy groups at positions 2, 3 and 23 (the 2alpha,3alpha stereoisomer). It has been isolated from Juglans sinensis. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a pentacyclic triterpenoid and a hydroxy monocarboxylic acid. It derives from a hydride of an ursane.
