Metabolite IDMMDBc0011383
Metabolite Identification
Common NameNidulalin A
DescriptionNidulalin A is a natural product belonging to the class of xanthones, characterized by a complex caged structure. This metabolite has garnered interest due to its unique biosynthetic pathway, which remains largely unexplored, as the genes responsible for its production have not been previously described (PMID:39625876 ). The synthesis of nidulalin A has been advanced through innovative methodologies, including an asymmetric synthesis that employs acylative kinetic resolution of chiral, racemic intermediates (PMID:38319883 ). Additionally, its biosynthetic relationship with nidulaxanthone A has been established, where nidulalin A serves as a monomer that undergoes stereoselective Diels-Alder dimerization to form the latter compound (PMID:38319883 ). The compound has also been synthesized using a four-step sequence that incorporates allyl triflate for chromone ester activation and ketone desaturation via Bobbitt's oxoammonium salt (PMID:38319883 ). The biological implications of nidulalin A are still under investigation, but its production has been linked to specific fungal strains that also express other metabolites like patulin and citrinin (PMID:39625876 ).
