Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-octanoylanthranilate
DescriptionN-octanoylanthranilate is a metabolite classified within the realm of organic compounds, specifically as an aromatic amine derivative. Its chemical structure features an anthranilic acid moiety linked to an octanoyl chain, which contributes to its unique properties and reactivity. In biochemical pathways, N-octanoylanthranilate is suggested to play a role in the degradation of 2-heptyl-4-quinolone (HHQ), where it may arise from the hydroxylation of HHQ to produce PQS, followed by dioxygenolytic cleavage of the heterocyclic ring and subsequent hydrolysis. This sequence implicates N-octanoylanthranilate in metabolic processes associated with quorum sensing and signaling in bacterial systems. The exploration of candidate genes related to this degradation pathway highlights its potential involvement in microbial metabolism and adaptation (PMID:26319870 ). Understanding the chemical behavior and pathways of N-octanoylanthranilate can provide insights into its role in microbial ecology and the biochemical interactions it mediates.
