Metabolite Identification
Common NameTetrangulol
DescriptionTetrangulol is a benz(a)anthraquinone, a chemical class known for its complex aromatic structures and biological activity. Its biosynthesis has been investigated in Streptomyces sp., where integrative metabolo-genomics has suggested a specific biosynthetic pathway (PMID:40064729 ). The compound is characterized by its involvement in various metabolic processes, including its role as a precursor to the antibiotic landomycin A, which is synthesized through the action of glycosyltransferases that transfer olivose to tetrangulol (PMID:34132308 ). Additionally, tetrangulol has been identified alongside other angucyclic quinones in studies isolating metabolites from actinomycetes (PMID:39282566 , PMID:23549355 ). The structural attributes of tetrangulol allow for diverse synthetic strategies, which have been explored for the total synthesis of related compounds, enhancing our understanding of its chemical properties and potential applications (PMID:29392259 ). Furthermore, the flexibility of the molecular structure influences its interactions in biochemical pathways, indicating a nuanced role in the synthesis of natural products (PMID:31800236 ).
