Metabolite Identification
Common NameAspergoterpenins A
DescriptionAspergoterpenins A is a bisabolane sesquiterpenoid, a chemical class characterized by a 15-carbon skeleton derived from the isoprene unit. This compound was isolated from the endophytic fungus Aspergillus versicolor, alongside three other derivatives, Aspergoterpenins B, C, and D. The chemical structure of Aspergoterpenins A was elucidated through comprehensive analyses of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Mass Spectrum (MS), and Circular Dichroism (CD) spectra, confirming its unique configuration and functional groups (PMID:29843405 ). In terms of biological pathways, sesquiterpenoids like Aspergoterpenins A are often involved in various metabolic processes, including the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites that contribute to the organism's defense mechanisms and interactions with other organisms. These compounds may play a role in antimicrobial activity, as suggested by their classification and the context of their discovery, indicating a potential involvement in the ecological dynamics of their host environment (PMID:29843405 ).
