Metabolite Identification
Common NameStealthin A
DescriptionStealthin A is a natural product belonging to the class of metabolites known as polyketides. It is synthesized through a biosynthetic pathway involving the hydroxylation of an intermediate, stealthin C, which serves as a substrate in its formation. This process is catalyzed by specific enzymes in the producing organism, contributing to the structural complexity of stealthin A. The biosynthesis of stealthin A is significant in the context of secondary metabolite production, as it may play a role in ecological interactions or microbial competition. The conversion of stealthin C to stealthin A exemplifies the intricate enzymatic processes that govern metabolite diversification in natural products. Understanding these pathways can provide insights into the chemical ecology of the producing organism and the potential applications of stealthin A in pharmaceuticals or biotechnology. The identification of stealthin C as a precursor highlights the importance of metabolic intermediates in the biosynthetic routes of complex natural products (PMID:11671405 ).
