Metabolite Identification
Common NameStreptindole
DescriptionStreptindole is a member of the indole alkaloid chemical class, characterized by its complex bicyclic structure comprising a fused benzene and pyrrole ring. This natural product exhibits significant antiviral activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and demonstrates fungicidal properties against various phytopathogenic fungi, as evidenced by its broad-spectrum efficacy (PMID:32649198 ). The chemical pathways involved in its activity include its role as an intermediary in the synthesis of bisindoles, specifically arsindoline B and streptindole itself, highlighting its importance in synthetic chemistry (PMID:26120289 ). Furthermore, innovative synthetic approaches have been developed, such as a one-pot total synthesis that employs a tandem decarboxylative deaminative dual-coupling reaction of amino acids with indoles, facilitating the production of streptindole and its derivatives (PMID:25744588 ). The derivatives of streptindole have been systematically designed and evaluated, showcasing enhanced antiviral and fungicidal activities, thereby providing valuable insights into their potential applications in combating viral and fungal pathogens (PMID:32649198 ).
