Metabolite Identification
Common NamePenitricin D
DescriptionPenitricin D is a secondary metabolite belonging to the class of polyketides. It is produced by the fungus Aspergillus niger and has been identified as an inhibitor of CD45 tyrosine phosphatase, an enzyme involved in the regulation of T-cell activation and signaling pathways. The biosynthetic pathway of penitricin D involves the polyketide synthase machinery, which synthesizes complex organic molecules through the iterative condensation of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA units. This compound, along with dihydrocarolic acid, was isolated from a fermentation broth of A. niger and purified using high-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (PMID:10805569 ). The ability of penitricin D to inhibit CD45 suggests potential implications in modulating immune responses, although further studies are required to elucidate its precise biological roles and mechanisms of action. Overall, penitricin D exemplifies the diverse chemical entities produced by fungi and their potential applications in biomedical research.
