Metabolite Identification
Common Name1-Hydroxyphenazine
Description1-Hydroxyphenazine is a phenazine derivative, classified as a metabolite in the realm of organic chemistry. Its chemical structure features a hydroxyl group attached to a phenazine backbone, which is characterized by two fused aromatic rings containing nitrogen atoms. This compound is notably produced by the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, where it plays a role alongside other phenazine metabolites such as pyocyanin and phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA) (PMID:40848493 ). Analytical techniques like GC-MS have identified 1-hydroxyphenazine as a significant metabolite within this bacterial context (PMID:40847290 ). Biochemically, 1-hydroxyphenazine is involved in various cellular processes, including the regulation of biofilm formation and cell adhesion, potentially through mechanisms involving cyclic di-GMP and quorum sensing (QS) signal molecules (PMID:40914933 ). Furthermore, studies have shown that while 1-hydroxyphenazine does not significantly affect intracellular calcium levels or reactive oxygen species (ROS) production compared to pyocyanin, it still influences mitochondrial function and cell viability in human nasal epithelial cells (PMID:39605736 ). This highlights its complex role in microbial metabolism and interactions with host cells.
