Metabolite Identification
Common NameRavenic acid
DescriptionRavenic acid is a tetramic acid, a class of compounds characterized by a four-membered ring structure containing a nitrogen atom. This metabolite has been isolated from the cultured microfungus Penicillium sp., highlighting its significance in the realm of natural products chemistry (PMID:12350167 ). The synthesis of 3-acyltetramic acids, including delicate 3-oligoenoyl derivatives like ravenic acid, has been achieved through high-yielding synthetic steps, showcasing its potential for further chemical exploration (PMID:20066698 ). Ravenic acid has been identified as a new antibiotic polyene tetramic acid, suggesting its biological relevance and potential therapeutic applications (PMID:12350167 ). Detailed spectroscopic analysis has elucidated the structure of ravenic acid, with the major isomer exhibiting (3Z, 7E, 9E, 11E, 13E) stereochemistry, which is crucial for understanding its biological activity and interactions (PMID:12350167 ). This compound thus represents an interesting target for further research in both chemistry and pharmacology, particularly in the development of novel antimicrobial agents.
