Metabolite Identification
Common NameCommunesin B
DescriptionCommunesin B is a polycyclic indole alkaloid metabolite described in biomedical literature. It has been identified as the most potent natural communesin, with derivatives exhibiting up to a 10-fold increase in potency over natural alkaloids, highlighting its potential in pharmacological applications (PMID:31422662 ). The compound was isolated and characterized as the main active compound through bio-guided purification, utilizing high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and NMR techniques (PMID:19918940 ). Additionally, sensitive mass spectrometric analysis revealed the presence of communesins A and B in mycelium grown on specific media, suggesting that the deletion of communesin biosynthesis was not absolute (PMID:18280722 ). This finding indicates complexities in the biosynthetic pathways of these compounds, particularly in relation to the integration of prenylation of tryptophan, a characteristic of ergot alkaloid biosynthesis (PMID:18280722 ). Furthermore, innovative methodologies have facilitated the rapid construction of hexacyclic substructures of communesin B, advancing the understanding of its chemical properties and potential applications (PMID:16928057 ).
