The molecule has a benzimidazole core, composed of:
- A benzene ring, and
- an imidazole ring (five-membered aromatic with two nitrogens in a 1,3/meta relationship),
fused through the two adjacent carbons of the imidazole into the benzene.

Substituents on the benzene ring:
- At the ortho position relative to the fused junction, the benzene carbon bears a fluorine atom.

Substituents on the imidazole ring:
- On the imidazole nitrogen farther from the benzene substitution site, the ring nitrogen bears a methyl group.
- The carbon between the two ring nitrogens carries a quaternary carbon substituent bonded to two methyl groups and to a carboxylic acid carbonyl .
