Metabolite Identification
Common NameTerpeptin
DescriptionTerpeptin is a member of the indolic enamides chemical class. Its chemical structure includes a unique arrangement of indole and amide functionalities, which contribute to its biological activities. Terpeptin has been isolated from a variety of fungal sources, particularly from the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sp., where it exists in different analogs such as Terpeptin A and B. These compounds have been shown to exhibit modest cytotoxicity against the A-549 cell line, indicating potential implications in cancer research. Additionally, multivariate data analysis has indicated that terpeptin derivatives are involved in quorum sensing inhibition (QSI) activity, which is a critical pathway in microbial communication and biofilm formation. The presence of terpeptin in the acetone extract of certain organisms highlights its role in complex biochemical interactions, further emphasizing its significance in natural product chemistry. The identification of new analogs, such as JBIR-81 and JBIR-82, expands the understanding of terpeptin's structural diversity and potential applications in pharmacology (PMIDs: 39617725, 20531436, 18846581).
