Metabolite IDMMDBc0002294
Metabolite Identification
Common NameRuakuric acid
DescriptionRuakuric acid is a chroman derivative classified as a natural product. This metabolite was isolated from a strain of Aspergillus fumigatus, a filamentous fungus known for its ecological versatility, particularly in association with coral lichens (PMID:8987516 ). The discovery of ruakuric acid highlights the complex interactions within its ecosystem and the potential for unique biochemical pathways in fungi. As a compound derived from a specific fungal species, ruakuric acid may possess distinct biological activities, although further research is necessary to elucidate its pharmacological properties and potential applications in medicine. The study of such metabolites contributes to our understanding of fungal biochemistry and the ecological roles these compounds may play in their natural habitats (PMID:8987516 ).
