The molecule is an alkyl caffeate ester obtained by the formal condensation of hydroxy groups at positions 3 and 4 of methylquinate with two molecules of trans-caffeic acid respectively. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is an alkyl caffeate ester, a quinic acid and a methyl ester. It derives from a trans-caffeic acid and a (-)-quinic acid.
