Metabolite Identification
Common NameBenzomalvin A
DescriptionBenzomalvin A is a benzodiazepine and a specialized metabolite derived from fungi, classified within the chemical class of quinazolinone natural products. This compound is biosynthesized by a three-gene nonribosomal peptide synthetase cluster and exhibits significant biological activity as an inhibitor of the substance P receptor NK1, with reported inhibitory constants (Ki) of 12, 42, and 43 µM at guinea pig, rat, and human receptors, respectively (PMID:7518818 ). Benzomalvin A has been isolated from the solid culture of Penicillium spathulatum B35, alongside other metabolites such as quinolactacins and asperphenamate (PMID:27399232 ). The unique Csp3-Csp2 bond forming reaction utilized in the synthesis of Benzomalvin A has been demonstrated in the context of producing various quinazolinone derivatives (PMID:37177871 ). Additionally, the growth characteristics of Penicillium spathulatum, including its ability to produce benzomalvin A, highlight its ecological niche and metabolic capabilities (PMID:23173673 ). A two-step total synthesis of (+/-)-benzomalvin A has also been successfully achieved, yielding 16% overall (PMID:16323862 ).
