Metabolite Identification
Common NameCandidusin C
DescriptionCandidusin C is a novel 2,2'-epoxy-terphenyllin derivative belonging to the chemical class of p-terphenyl compounds. Its chemical structure features a unique epoxy group that distinguishes it from other related metabolites. Candidusin C is synthesized by the fungus Aspergillus campestris, which has been shown to produce various secondary metabolites, including terphenyllin and its analogues. The biosynthetic pathways involving candidusin C are likely linked to the polyketide synthesis route, which is common in fungi and leads to the formation of complex aromatic compounds. This compound is part of a broader category of metabolites that may play roles in ecological interactions, such as antifungal or antibacterial activities, although specific biological functions of candidusin C remain to be elucidated. The discovery of candidusin C, alongside other p-terphenyl derivatives, highlights the chemical diversity present in fungal metabolites and their potential applications in biotechnology and pharmacology (PMID:36355001 , PMID:10724184 ).
