Metabolite Identification
Common NameArohynapene A
DescriptionArohynapene A is a secondary metabolite belonging to the class of polyketides. Chemically, it is characterized as (2E,4E)-5-(5-hydroxy-2,6,8-trimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene)-2,4-pentadienoic acid, which highlights its complex structure featuring a pentadienoic acid moiety and a hydroxylated naphthalene derivative. This compound was isolated from the culture broth of the hot spring-derived fungus Penicillium sp., alongside other related metabolites such as tanzawaic acids (PMID:29717198 ). Arohynapene A, along with its structural analogs, has demonstrated antifungal activity, indicating its potential role in the defense mechanisms of the producing organism (PMID:29717198 ). The biosynthetic pathways involved in the production of arohynapene A likely include polyketide synthase enzymes, which are crucial for the assembly of its complex carbon skeleton. Additionally, the presence of hydroxyl and methyl substituents suggests further enzymatic modifications that contribute to its biological activity and structural diversity (PMID:8119861 ).
