Metabolite Identification
Common NameOchrephilone
DescriptionOchrephilone is a polyketide metabolite described in biomedical literature. It is produced by certain fungi and is part of a broader class of compounds known as azaphilones, which are characterized by their complex aromatic structures and diverse biological activities. Research indicates that the biosynthesis of ochrephilone is linked to specific polyketide synthase genes, as evidenced by the knockout of sclA and sclI genes, which resulted in the loss of mycelial pigmentation and the termination of sclerotiorin-like metabolites, including ochrephilone (PMID:36708387 ). Additionally, ochrephilone has been identified among other metabolites in various fungal species, highlighting its prevalence in fungal secondary metabolism (PMID:32328050 ). Studies have shown that ochrephilone can be isolated from fungal cultures, often alongside other related compounds, indicating its significance in the metabolic profile of these organisms (PMID:20450206 , PMID:7649871 ). Furthermore, the production of ochrephilone and other polyketide metabolites is influenced by specific fermentation conditions, suggesting a dynamic aspect of its biosynthesis (PMID:26863302 ). Overall, ochrephilone represents an important compound in the study of fungal metabolites and their potential applications in biotechnology and medicine.
