The molecule is any member of large group of hapalindole-type alkaloids that are bioactive metabolites of the Subsection V (formerly order Stigonematales)in the phylum Cyanobacteria which have either a tetracyclic structure based on 10-isocyano-6,6,9-trimethyl-9-vinyl-2,6,6a,7,8,9,10,10a-octahydronaphtho[1,2,3-cd]indole, or a tricyclic structure resulting from the cleavage of the bond linking the indole ring to the dimethyl-substituted carbon. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite.
