Calonyctin A-2d
CAS number: 151864-96-9
Calonyctin A-2d is one of two components of the plant growth regulator known as calonyctin. It's a glycoside, meaning it's a molecule made up of a sugar (specifically, a tetrasaccharide) and a non-sugar component called an aglycone. The aglycone in calonyctin A-2d is composed of two hydroxy fatty acid residues. It's a macrocyclic structure, meaning it has a large ring.
