Metabolite Identification
Common NameFujenal
DescriptionFujenal is a diterpenoid, a chemical class characterized by a structure consisting of four isoprene units. It is a metabolite that plays a role in various biochemical processes, particularly in the biosynthesis of gibberellins and other terpenoids. The chemistry of fujenal, along with its biotransformations and analogues, has been reviewed in the literature, highlighting its significance in metabolic pathways (PMID:18589462 ). Although fujenal is involved in certain biochemical reactions, it has been shown not to serve as an intermediate in some synthetic sequences (PMID:15081281 ). Additionally, fujenal exhibits inhibitory effects on the synthesis of gibberellins, with specific inhibition constants reported (PMID:15081281 ). The Ascomycete Gibberella fujikuroi is known to synthesize fujenal alongside gibberellins and carotenoids, indicating its role in fungal metabolism (PMID:7797477 ). Mutants of this organism exhibit partial defects in the early reactions of gibberellin biosynthesis, resulting in reduced production of both gibberellins and fujenal, further underscoring the compound's importance in plant growth regulation (PMID:7797477 ).
