Metabolite Identification
Common NameTryptoquialanine A
DescriptionTryptoquialanine A is a phytotoxic alkaloid belonging to the chemical class of tryptoquivaline-like metabolites. This compound has been shown to completely inhibit germination in citrus seeds, leading to an altered metabolic response when the seeds are exposed to it (PMID:33563828 ). The phytotoxic effect of tryptoquialanine A necessitates its extracellular export, which is facilitated through extracellular vesicles (EVs) during plant infection by pathogens such as Penicillium digitatum, a major contributor to postharvest losses in citrus fruits (PMID:33563828 ). Furthermore, tryptoquialanine A exhibits significant insecticidal properties, demonstrating high toxicity against Aedes aegypti, which suggests its potential role in controlling insect populations during orange decay (PMID:31345413 ). The compound was isolated from fungal cultures cultivated on solid media, alongside another metabolite, tryptoquialanine B, indicating its biosynthesis on citrus fruits (PMID:12381117 ). Overall, tryptoquialanine A plays a crucial role in plant-pathogen interactions and may have implications for agricultural practices and pest management.
