The molecule is a pentacyclic triterpenoid that is olean-12-ene substituted by carboxy group at position 28 and hydroxy groups at positions 3, 16 and 21 (the 3beta,16alpha,21beta stereoisomer). It has a role as a metabolite. It is a pentacyclic triterpenoid and a hydroxy monocarboxylic acid. It derives from a hydride of an oleanane.
