The molecule is a glycosyl glycoside derivative that consists of alpha,alpha-trehalose substituted at positions 6 and 6' by O-2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylbenzoyl groups. It is isolated from the culture broth of actinomycete, Nonomuraea, and has antitumor activity. It has a role as a metabolite and an antimicrobial agent. It is a member of resorcinols, a glycosyl glycoside derivative and a benzoate ester. It derives from an o-orsellinic acid and an alpha,alpha-trehalose.
