The molecule is a steroid acid that is ergosta-8,24(28)-dien-26-oic acid substituted by a methyl group at position 4 and oxo groups at positions 3, 7 and 11 (the 4alpha,5alpha stereoisomer). Isolated from Antrodia cinnamomea and Antrodia camphorata, it exhibits cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activity. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, an anti-inflammatory agent and a plant metabolite. It is a 3-oxo steroid, a 7-oxo steroid, an 11-oxo steroid, a steroid acid, a monocarboxylic acid and an ergostanoid.
