Metabolite Identification
Common NameOctalin
DescriptionOctalin is a bicyclic compound belonging to the class of polycyclic hydrocarbons, specifically characterized by its unique trans-decalin structure. This metabolite has garnered attention in biomedical literature due to its significant biological activities. For example, M-COPA, which incorporates an octalin skeleton, exhibits strong inhibitory effects on the growth of various cancer cell lines (PMID:40691095 ). Additionally, several diterpenes featuring an octalin framework have been isolated from the mangrove endophytic fungus Talaromyces sp., highlighting its ecological relevance (PMID:38928398 ). The total synthesis of (+)-tanzawaic acid B, which contains an octalin moiety, underscores the compound's importance in natural product chemistry (PMID:37546667 ). Furthermore, studies on octalin-forming Diels-Alderases reveal insights into the catalytic mechanisms that govern its formation (PMID:35873532 ). The structural diversity of octalin-containing natural products, including verticilactam, is also noted for their potent antibacterial activities (PMID:33206093 ). Overall, octalin serves as a crucial scaffold in various bioactive compounds, reflecting its significance in both chemical and biological contexts.
