Metabolite Identification
Common NameLynamicin B
DescriptionLynamicin B is a chitinase inhibitor belonging to the class of natural metabolites. This compound has garnered attention for its potential use as a pesticide, specifically targeting lepidopteran pests by selectively inhibiting the chitinase enzyme OfChi-h from Ostrinia furnacalis, which is crucial for their growth and development (PMID:34797675 ). The crystal structure analysis of Lynamicin B bound to OfChi-h revealed a unique binding interaction, where the dichloroindolyl group occupies an unexplored pocket in the substrate-binding cleft, contributing to its specificity and competitive inhibition with a Ki value of 8.76 μM (PMID:34797675 ). Notably, Lynamicin B demonstrated high insecticidal activity against other lepidopteran species, including Mythimna separata and Spodoptera frugiperda, while showing no significant impact on Trichogramma ostriniae, a beneficial parasitoid (PMID:34797675 ). These findings suggest that Lynamicin B could be a valuable tool in pest management strategies, leveraging its selective action against target pests while minimizing effects on non-target species (PMID:37038745 ).
