Metabolite Identification
Common Name6-Dehydropetasol
Description6-Dehydropetasol is a sesquiterpene, a class of terpenoids characterized by a 15-carbon skeleton formed from three isoprene units. This compound has been identified as a metabolite in the fungal species Penicillium sp., where it was isolated alongside other eremophilane sesquiterpenes such as sporogen-AO1 and petasol (PMID:29066796 ). The structural diversity of sesquiterpenes, including 6-dehydropetasol, contributes to their biological activities, which can range from antimicrobial to anti-inflammatory effects. The presence of 6-dehydropetasol in fungal metabolites highlights the potential of these compounds in pharmacological applications, as they may exhibit unique properties beneficial for drug discovery and development (PMID:17191924 ). Understanding the biosynthetic pathways and ecological roles of such metabolites can provide insights into their functions and potential uses in medicine and agriculture.
