Metabolite Identification
Common NameDihydrocarolic acid
DescriptionDihydrocarolic acid is a natural product classified as a metabolite within the chemical class of organic acids. It has been identified as an inhibitor of CD45 tyrosine phosphatase, a crucial enzyme involved in the regulation of immune responses. This compound, along with penitricin D, was isolated from the fermentation broth of the fungus Aspergillus niger, showcasing the potential of fungal metabolites in biochemistry and pharmacology. The purification process employed high-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), highlighting the advanced techniques used to isolate bioactive compounds from natural sources. The relevance of dihydrocarolic acid in the context of immune modulation suggests its potential utility in therapeutic applications, particularly in disorders where CD45 activity is implicated. Further research into its biological activity and mechanisms of action may provide insights into its role in cellular signaling pathways and its possible applications in medicine. (PMID:10805569 )
