Metabolite Identification
Common NameFumigatin oxide
DescriptionFumigatin oxide is a secondary metabolite belonging to the class of polyketides, primarily produced by certain fungal species, including those in the Aspergillus genus. It is associated with various biological activities, particularly in the context of fungal pathogenicity and interactions with host organisms. Fumigatin oxide has been identified alongside other metabolites such as gliotoxin G, fumigatin, and pseurotin A or D, highlighting its role in the complex chemical arsenal of fungi, which may contribute to their virulence (PMID:23537878 ). The study of fumigatin oxide and its related compounds provides insights into the biochemical pathways utilized by fungi, as well as their potential impact on human health and the environment. Understanding these metabolites is crucial for developing strategies to manage fungal infections and exploit their biochemical properties for therapeutic applications.
