The molecule is an (omega-1)-hydroxy fatty acid ascaroside that is bhas#30 in which the hydroxy group at position 4 of the ascarylopyranose moiety has been has been converted to the corresponding 1H-indole-3-carboxylate ester. It is a metabolite of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. It has a role as a Caenorhabditis elegans metabolite. It is an (omega-1)-hydroxy fatty acid ascaroside, a 3-hydroxy carboxylic acid, a 4-O-(1H-indol-3-ylcarbonyl)ascaroside and a monocarboxylic acid. It derives from a bhas#30 and a (3R,16R)-3,16-dihydroxymargaric acid.
(3R,16R)-3-hydroxy-16-[(2R,3R,5R,6S)-3-hydroxy-5-(1H-indole-3-carbonyloxy)-6-methyloxan-2-yl]oxyheptadecanoic acid
