Metabolite Identification
Common NameTerreinol
DescriptionTerreinol is a secondary alcohol belonging to the class of terpenoids, specifically a metabolite isolated from the fungus Aspergillus terreus. Its structural elucidation has been achieved through advanced spectroscopic techniques, including 13C and 1H NMR, which confirmed the carbon-carbon connectivity of the compound. The absolute configuration of terreinol was indirectly determined via the modified Mosher method, in conjunction with conformational analysis, highlighting the compound's intricate stereochemistry (PMID:15625725 ). The shielding effect of the phenyl group in methoxytrifluoromethylphenylacetic acid (MTPA) facilitated a clear Deltadelta(SR) sign distribution, which allowed for a reliable assignment of its R configuration (PMID:15625725 ). This detailed structural characterization underscores the importance of terreinol in biochemical studies and its potential applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and natural product chemistry. The elucidation of its structure not only contributes to the understanding of fungal metabolites but also provides insights into the biosynthetic pathways of terpenoids.
