Metabolite Identification
Common NameChromoazepinone A
DescriptionChromoazepinone A is a novel tryptophan-derived metabolite belonging to the chemical class of azepinones. Its chemical structure features a chromone moiety fused to a seven-membered azepinone ring, which contributes to its unique properties and potential biological activities. Chromoazepinone A, alongside its analogs, was isolated from a blocked mutant of Chromobacterium violaceum, highlighting its biosynthetic implications (PMID:20490411 ). This compound has been shown to inhibit Wnt signal transcriptional activity, a crucial pathway involved in cellular processes such as proliferation and differentiation, and is notably implicated in the development of various tumors when aberrantly activated (PMID:20490411 ). The discovery of chromoazepinone A, along with other metabolites like chromoazepinone B and C, underscores its potential relevance in the study of metabolic pathways and cancer biology (PMID:20490411 ).
