Metabolite Identification
Common NamePantocin B
DescriptionPantocin B is a peptidic antibiotic belonging to the class of natural products known as pseudo-tripeptides. Its unique chemical structure features a methylenediamine and a methyl sulfone, which are atypical for natural compounds, embedded within a backbone that contributes to its biological activity. The biosynthetic gene cluster responsible for pantocin B production has been identified in the strain Pantoea agglomerans Eh318, highlighting its specificity to certain Pantoea species, in contrast to other antibiotics like pantocin A, which have broader distributions among various genera (PMID:39206372 ). The peptidic nature of pantocin B has enabled structure-activity relationship studies that elucidate the roles of its functional groups in determining its efficacy (PMID:11592872 ). Additionally, antibiotic-defective mutants of Eh318 have been created to study the contributions of pantocin B and its analogues to antimicrobial activity (PMID:11133457 ). The chemical structure of pantocin B has been elucidated as (R)-N-[((S)-2-amino-propanoylamino)-methyl]-2-methanesulfonyl-succinamic acid, allowing for further exploration of its synthesis and potential therapeutic applications (PMID:11133457 ).
