piericidin A

CHEBI:138511 ·resolve ·ANTIMICROBIAL_UNSPECIFIED ·EXACT SEEDED

A member of the class of monohydroxypyridines that acts as an irreversible mitochondrial Complex I inhibitor that strongly associates with ubiquinone binding sites in both mitochondrial and bacterial forms of NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase — ChEBI

Machine-generated and unreviewed. Identity, structure and cross-references come straight from ChEBI's and CARD's own data; no curator has signed off on this record yet.

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.

Source concepts

Every upstream concept that resolved to this record. The merge is the product: this is what shows ChEBI and CARD are describing the same 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.
