Metabolite Identification
Common NamePyrromycin
DescriptionPyrromycin is a member of the anthracycline chemical class, characterized by a tetracyclic ring structure that is typical of this group. Its chemical structure features a glycosidic bond, which is crucial for its biological activity. Pyrromycin has been identified as a metabolite produced by certain microbial isolates, alongside other compounds like doxorubicinol and erythromycin (PMID:29720968 ). In various studies, pyrromycin has been shown to interact with DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), indicating its potential role in epigenetic regulation (PMID:26099696 ). High-throughput screening has highlighted pyrromycin as an upregulator of ABCA1 expression, suggesting involvement in lipid metabolism pathways (PMID:18594022 ). Additionally, its growth-inhibitory effects have been compared with other anthracyclines in both resistant and wild-type cell lines, revealing its potency against cancer cells (PMID:8422694 ). Furthermore, pyrromycin has been implicated in stimulating erythroid differentiation and hemoglobin synthesis in specific cell lines, distinguishing it from other anthracyclines that do not exhibit this effect (PMID:2020200 ). Overall, pyrromycin's unique structural features and biological activities contribute to its significance in the field of medicinal chemistry.
