Common Namefumigaclavine B
Descriptionfumigaclavine B is a member of the ergot alkaloid chemical class, primarily synthesized in fungi such as Neosartorya fumigata and certain Claviceps species. Its chemical structure is characterized by a complex bicyclic framework, which is essential for its biological activity. fumigaclavine B is produced through a series of enzymatic reactions, with festuclavine serving as a key intermediate in its biosynthetic pathway. The hydroxylation of festuclavine to fumigaclavine B is mediated by the enzyme encoded by the easM gene, although some steps in this pathway remain unresolved (PMID:26972831 ). Additionally, the acetylation of fumigaclavine B is catalyzed by FgaAT in Aspergillus fumigatus (PMID:19672909 ). This metabolite is not only found in various fungal species but also has been identified in relic strains of Penicillium palitans (PMID:19382708 ). The production of fumigaclavine B, along with other ergot alkaloids, has been observed in conidia of A. fumigatus (PMID:15933008 ) and in various fungal isolates (PMID:12733634 ), indicating its prevalence in fungal metabolism.
