Metabolite Identification
Common NameEpi-aculin A
DescriptionEpi-aculin A is a secondary metabolite belonging to the class of aculins, derived from the biosynthetic pathway of 6-methylsalicylic acid (6-MSA) in fungi. This compound was identified in a study investigating a 6-MSA synthase gene cluster in Aspergillus aculeatus, which revealed the presence of 6-MSA-derived metabolites including aculinic acid, aculins A and B, and epi-aculin A (PMID:26374386 ). The research demonstrated that fully (13)C-labeled 6-MSA is incorporated into aculinic acid, which subsequently leads to the formation of these aculins, highlighting the intricate biochemical processes involved in fungal metabolism. Epi-aculin A, described for the first time in this study, contributes to the understanding of the biosynthetic pathways in fungi and their potential roles in ecological interactions and biotechnological applications. The characterization of such metabolites can provide insights into their biological activities and potential therapeutic uses, emphasizing the importance of secondary metabolites in the natural product chemistry of fungi.
