Metabolite Identification
Common NameEutypinol
DescriptionEutypinol is a phenolic compound belonging to the class of benzyl alcohol derivatives. This metabolite has garnered attention in biomedical literature due to its distinctive biochemical properties and effects on cellular structures. For instance, eutypinol has been shown to eliminate microtubules, contrasting with other related compounds (PMID:35928402 ). In combination experiments, eutypinol and its analogues exhibited competitive behavior regarding elicited responses (PMID:35928402 ). High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed that eutypinol is produced in significant quantities alongside smaller amounts of methyleutypinol and eulatachromene, while the putative toxin eutypine was detected only in trace amounts (PMID:16218657 ). Notably, the consistent production of eutypinol makes it a prime candidate for diagnosing the presence of Eutypa lata, as it was readily detected in infected tissues but not in uninfected ones (PMID:16218657 ). Additionally, eutypinol has been implicated in inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in yeast, particularly under oxidative stress conditions (PMID:15386117 ). The compound's aldehyde function is reduced to yield eutypinol from eutypine (PMID:16131109 ), further highlighting its metabolic relevance.
