Metabolite Identification
Common NameOphiobolin F
DescriptionOphiobolin F is a tricyclic sesterterpene belonging to the chemical class of metabolites known as ophiobolins. It is produced through the enzymatic activity of ophiobolin F synthase, which catalyzes the cyclization of precursor molecules in fungi such as Aspergillus species (PMID:32725018 ). The biosynthetic pathway of ophiobolin F has been elucidated, revealing a complex interplay of gene inactivation and heterologous expression techniques (PMID:35163826 ). Notably, a high yield of 5.1 g/L of ophiobolin F was achieved using ethanol and fatty acids as substrates, indicating its potential for biotechnological applications (PMID:38711040 ). Ophiobolin F has garnered attention due to its cytotoxic properties, which may be enhanced through synergistic interactions with other myco-metabolites (PMID:38711040 ). The compound's absolute configuration and cyclization mechanism have been investigated using isotopic labeling experiments, contributing to a deeper understanding of its chemical structure and biological activity (PMID:32725018 ). Overall, ophiobolin F represents a significant compound in the study of fungal metabolites and their potential therapeutic applications.
