23-o-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-2-epi-25-methyldolichosterone is a member of the class of compounds known as steroidal glycosides. Steroidal glycosides are sterol lipids containing a carbohydrate moiety glycosidically linked to the steroid skeleton. 23-o-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-2-epi-25-methyldolichosterone is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 23-o-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-2-epi-25-methyldolichosterone can be found in common bean, green bean, and yellow wax bean, which makes 23-o-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-2-epi-25-methyldolichosterone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
