Metabolite Identification
Common Name(-)-12-hydroxysydonic acid
Description(-)-12-hydroxysydonic acid is a metabolite belonging to the class of hydroxylated fatty acids. It is structurally characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group at the 12th carbon of the sydonic acid backbone, which is derived from the biosynthesis of certain terpenoids and fatty acids. This compound is involved in various biochemical pathways, particularly those related to plant defense mechanisms and secondary metabolite production. The isolation of (-)-12-hydroxysydonic acid has been linked to the chemical investigation of the endolichenic fungus Aspergillus versicolor, which was found in the lichen Lobaria quercizans. This study resulted in the identification of several novel compounds, including (-)-(R)-cyclo-hydroxysydonic acid and other related metabolites (PMID: 125 a). The presence of such metabolites in fungi suggests their potential roles in ecological interactions and the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds, contributing to the complex chemical ecology of lichens and their associated microorganisms.
