Metabolite Identification
Common NameAsperic acid
DescriptionAsperic acid is a secondary metabolite belonging to the class of organic acids. It has been identified in various fungal species, including marine-derived fungi and Aspergillus niger, where it is produced as part of metabolic pathways associated with secondary metabolism. Asperic acid has been isolated alongside other compounds such as hexylitaconic acid and malformin C, indicating its potential role in the complex biochemical interactions within these organisms (PMID:10650076 ). Additionally, it has demonstrated significant antifeedant activity, contributing to the ecological interactions of its producing organisms, as evidenced by studies showing antifeedant rates of 80% at certain concentrations (PMID:34786852 ). The structural elucidation of asperic acid has been documented, further enhancing the understanding of its chemical properties and potential applications (PMID:10650076 ). Furthermore, the isolation of asperic acid alongside novel derivatives such as aspericins A-C from Rhizopus sp. highlights its relevance in the study of fungal metabolites and their diverse biological activities (PMID:19937604 ).
