3-Methylorsellinic acid

Description

3-Methylorsellinic acid is a polyketide, a class of compounds characterized by their complex structures derived from the polymerization of acetyl and propionyl units. Its chemical structure features a methyl group at the 3-position of the orsellinic acid backbone, contributing to its unique properties. This compound plays a significant role in various biosynthetic pathways, particularly in the production of fungal metabolites. For instance, it is a key component in the formation of heterodimeric depsides, such as Talaronic acids A and B, which are composed of 3-methylorsellinic acid and 5-methylorsellinic acid (PMID:40137316 ). Additionally, Thielavin A is another fungal depside that includes one unit of 3-methylorsellinic acid along with two units of 3,5-dimethylorsellinic acid (PMID:38467568 ). The enzyme DrcA, identified in Aspergillus duricaulis, synthesizes CJ-20,557, a heterodimer that also incorporates 3-methylorsellinic acid (PMID:36223511 ). Moreover, in a study utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae, high yields of orsellinic acid derivatives, including 3-methylorsellinic acid, were successfully produced (PMID:35602042 ).
