Metabolite Identification
Common NameFumiquinone B
DescriptionFumiquinone B is a polyketide metabolite identified in biomedical literature. It was isolated through bioactivity-directed fractionation of the combined culture medium and mycelium extract of the endophytic fungus Xylaria feejeensis strain SM3e-1b, which was sourced from the plant Sapium macrocarpum. This process led to the identification of several known natural products, including Fumiquinone B, which is structurally related to other compounds such as coriloxine and 2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-3-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (PMID: 21126594 ). The unique chemical structure of Fumiquinone B contributes to its potential bioactivity, which has been of interest in the study of natural products for pharmaceutical applications. The exploration of metabolites like Fumiquinone B underscores the significance of endophytic fungi as a source of bioactive compounds, which may possess various biological activities, including antimicrobial and anticancer properties, warranting further investigation into their therapeutic potential.
