Metabolite Identification
Common NameEremofortin C
DescriptionEremofortin C is a secondary metabolite belonging to the chemical class of eremophilanes, produced by the fungus Penicillium roqueforti. This compound has garnered attention in the field of biochemistry due to its role in the biosynthetic pathways of eremophilanes, which are elucidated through bioinformatics-guided studies (PMID:38568215 ). Eremofortin C (EC) and its related compound, PR toxin, are both significant secondary metabolites of P. roqueforti, with various factors influencing their production, including the presence of corn extract which enhances the biosynthesis of EC and PR toxin (PMID:1768131 ; PMID:1819047 ). The transformation of eremofortin C into PR toxin has been documented, highlighting its biochemical relevance (PMID:4073900 ). Furthermore, studies have characterized the enzyme responsible for this transformation, providing insights into the enzymatic processes involved in secondary metabolite biosynthesis (PMID:16346812 ). The concentration required for inhibition of binding of PR toxin to its antibody has also been quantified, demonstrating the potency of eremofortin C in biochemical assays (PMID:30978841 ). Overall, eremofortin C exemplifies the intricate chemistry and biological significance of fungal secondary metabolites.
