Metabolite Identification
Common NameBassianin
DescriptionBassianin is a secondary metabolite belonging to the chemical class of polyketide-nonribosomal peptide hybrids, produced by the fungal species Beauveria. This compound, along with other insecticidal metabolites such as tenellin and beauvericin, is synthesized via multi-domain polyketide synthase-nonribosomal peptide synthetase (PKS-NRPS) pathways (PMID:40171247 ). Bassianin can be efficiently extracted from cultures of Beauveria species, highlighting its potential for biopesticide applications (PMID:37968430 ). The biosynthesis of bassianin is closely related to other metabolites, as evidenced by rational domain swaps between polyketide synthases involved in the production of tenellin and desmethylbassianin (PMID:21899331 ). Additionally, the coexpression of cytochrome P450 encoding genes from the tenellin biosynthetic gene cluster has been shown to resurrect the production of bassianin, indicating its complex biosynthetic origins (PMID:21899331 ). Furthermore, bassianin, along with other Beauveria pigments, has demonstrated biological activity by inhibiting total erythrocyte membrane ATPase activity in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting potential implications in pharmacology and toxicology (PMID:9278984 ).
