Common NameVerruculogen
DescriptionVerruculogen is a rare fumitremorgin alkaloid characterized by a unique eight-membered endoperoxide structure. Its biosynthesis involves the αKG-NHFe enzyme FtmOx1, which catalyzes key reactions such as endoperoxidation, dealkylation, and alcohol oxidation, contributing to the formation of this complex molecule (PMID:39669701 ). The chemical structure of verruculogen is notable for its intricate pentacyclic core, which is synthesized through advanced chemoenzymatic methods that utilize enzymatic C-H peroxidation and rhodium-catalyzed C-C bond activation (PMID:37625109 ). Furthermore, verruculogen has been implicated in metabolic pathways, particularly in response to pathogenic stress, where it is among the antimicrobial metabolites that undergo significant reprogramming, with 299 metabolites upregulated and 483 downregulated in the diseased endosphere (PMID:40453336 ). Additionally, studies have demonstrated its inhibitory effects on channel opening, indicating potential interactions with biological systems (PMID:40799743 ). Overall, verruculogen exemplifies the complexity of natural product chemistry and its integration into biological processes.
