Metabolite Identification
Common NameAflavinine
DescriptionAflavinine is a secondary metabolite belonging to the class of aflavinines, which are produced by certain fungi, particularly Aspergillus species. This compound is notable for its role in the biosynthetic pathways of various sclerotial metabolites, as evidenced by the decrease in its production in the OE::zfpA mutant of Aspergillus flavus (PMID:40262766 ). Aflavinine is part of a broader array of metabolites identified in A. flavus, which includes other compounds such as aflatoxins and hydroxyaflavinine (PMID:39130166 ). Recent studies suggest that aflavinine analogs may possess pharmacological potential, serving as lead compounds for drug development targeting NPC1L1 and α-glucosidase (PMID:38067659 ). Moreover, profiling of secondary metabolites has revealed elevated levels of aflavinine isomers during specific developmental stages of sclerotia (PMID:35183336 ). The structural complexity of aflavinines, including aflavinine, has been addressed through innovative synthetic approaches, such as a stereoselective tandem intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition, allowing for efficient access to its functionalized core (PMID:31368715 ). Understanding the biosynthetic and synthetic pathways of aflavinine may facilitate the exploration of its biological activities and applications in medicine.
