Metabolite Identification
Common NameFumigatin chlorohydrin
DescriptionFumigatin chlorohydrin is a secondary metabolite belonging to the class of polyketides. Its chemical structure is characterized by a chlorohydrin functional group, which is derived from the biosynthetic pathway involving 3,4-dihydroxytoluquinone, a precursor in the fumigatin biosynthesis pathway. This compound was isolated following the overexpression of the PbrlaeA gene in the fungus Penicillium brocae HDN-12-143, leading to the identification of fumigatin chlorohydrin and iso-fumigatin chlorohydrin (PMID:32373583 ). The metabolic role of fumigatin chlorohydrin is linked to its involvement in the complex biosynthetic pathways of fumigatin, where it plays a crucial part in the transformation of key intermediates into final products (PMID:4598457 ). The precise configuration of fumigatin chlorohydrin has not been previously reported, suggesting potential for further investigation into its structural properties and biological activities. Understanding its chemical structure and the pathways it is involved in may provide insights into the broader metabolic functions of polyketides in fungi.
