Gypsogenic acid is a pentacyclic triterpenoid, specifically an olean-12-ene derivative, with carboxy groups at positions 23 and 28, as well as a hydroxy group at position 3 (the 3beta stereoisomer). It functions as a metabolite and exhibits antibacterial properties. As a pentacyclic triterpenoid and hydroxy carboxylic acid, gypsogenic acid has been identified in M. stenostachya and displays antibacterial and trypanocidal activities.
