Metabolite Identification
Common NameCR377
DescriptionCR377 is a pentaketide, a class of compounds characterized by their biosynthesis from five acetyl-CoA units. This metabolite was identified from the culture broth of an endophytic fungus, specifically a taxonomically unclassified strain of Fusarium, and exhibits notable antifungal properties, particularly against Candida albicans (PMID:11076576 ). The chemical structure of CR377 has been elucidated through advanced techniques including one-dimensional and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and high-resolution fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (HRFABMS) (PMID:11076576 ). Additionally, it has been shown that CR377 is identical to fujikurin A, a bioactive compound, while other related fujikurins B-D have not been documented in other fungal species (PMID:26192387 ). The pathways involving CR377 may include those that lead to the biosynthesis of antifungal agents, contributing to the organism's defense mechanisms against pathogens. Overall, CR377 represents a significant compound within the realm of natural products and antifungal research, highlighting the potential of endophytic fungi in drug discovery (PMID:12942035 ).
