Metabolite Identification
Common NameDitryptophenaline
DescriptionDitryptophenaline is a dimeric diketopiperazine alkaloid, classified as a secondary metabolite primarily produced by filamentous fungi. This compound is synthesized through the condensation of l-tryptophan and l-phenylalanine, followed by a reductive dimerization process that introduces stereochemical variations (PMID:30638296 ). The biosynthetic pathway involves a cytochrome P450 enzyme, DtpC, which catalyzes the dimerization of diketopiperazines (PMID:39747836 ). Additionally, the production of ditryptophenaline is regulated by specific gene clusters that also control the biosynthesis of other metabolites such as aflatoxin and cyclopiazonic acid (PMID:37666447 ). Recent studies have demonstrated the practical synthesis of ditryptophenaline alongside other dimeric natural products, highlighting its significance in natural product chemistry (PMID:39216012 ). The identification of ditryptophenaline has been confirmed using 1D and 2D NMR techniques (PMID:33062385 ). Overall, ditryptophenaline represents an important class of fungal metabolites with potential implications in pharmacology and biochemistry, showcasing the intricate relationships between fungal biosynthesis and secondary metabolite regulation (PMID:40307734 ).
