Metabolite Identification
Common NameWalleminol
DescriptionWalleminol is a secondary metabolite belonging to the class of mycotoxins. Its chemical structure has been partially characterized using mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, and various spectroscopic techniques, indicating a complex arrangement of functional groups that contribute to its biological activity (PMID:2106458 ). Walleminol is produced by certain fungi, and its synthesis is influenced by environmental factors, such as the concentration of NaCl in the growth medium; specifically, increasing NaCl from 5% to 15% has been shown to enhance the production of walleminol along with other toxic metabolites (PMID:28036382 ). Walleminol exhibits significant biological activity, with a minimum inhibitory dose of approximately 50 micrograms/ml, comparable to other known mycotoxins like citrinin and penicillic acid (PMID:2106458 ). This compound may participate in various biochemical pathways, potentially affecting cellular processes in organisms exposed to it, although the precise mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. Overall, walleminol represents an important subject of study within the field of mycotoxicology due to its toxicological implications and the environmental factors influencing its biosynthesis.
