fumagillin

CHEBI:48635 ·resolve ·ANTIBACTERIAL ·EXACT SEEDED

A meroterpenoid resulting from the formal condensation of the hydroxy group of fumagillol with the carboxylic acid group of (all-E)-deca-2,4,6,8-tetraenedioic acid. Originally isolated from the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, it is used for the control of Nosema infection in honey bees. — ChEBI

Cross-references

Identifiers for this same structure in other resources. An accession that lands on two different structures in this corpus is withheld from both rather than shown here, since it names at most one of them.

Drug registries

Identifiers that name a drug rather than a structure. One of these can cover a parent compound, its salts and its stereoisomers, which this corpus keeps as separate records, so it is not an equivalence of structure.

Patents and articles

Documents about this compound. A patent covers a class and an article covers a topic; neither identifies a structure.

Producer organisms

Organisms that biosynthesize this compound. Cluster link evidence is how the upstream source graded the gene cluster, so it is populated only for a source that grades it. An empty cell is not weaker support: a curator-authored producer carries its support in Evidence instead. Where the source entry named several compounds, the evidence is marked inherited, meaning it covers this compound together with the cluster's other products rather than singling it out. Those products need not be related to each other: a cluster can list an intermediate, a precursor and a finished antibiotic side by side.

DOI:10.1021/ja312503y (MIBiG attaches this reference to the compound, as support for its STRUCTURE: every compound-level method in the release is structure elucidation (NMR, mass spectrometry, X-ray, total synthesis). It establishes what the molecule is. It is NOT evidence that this organism produces it; MIBiG attaches no reference to the producer link at all.)
