7-epi-cylindrospermopsin

CHEBI:88049 EXACT SEEDED

A triazaacenaphthylene that is 2,2a,3,4,5,5a,6,7-octahydro-1H-1,8,8b-triazaacenaphthylene which is substituted at positions 3, 4, and 7 by methyl, sulfooxy, and (2,6-dioxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-4-yl)(hydroxy)methyl groups, respectively (the 2aS,3R,4S,5aS,7R stereoisomer in which the carbon bearing the hydroxy group has S configuration). It is a cyanotoxin produced by several species of freshwater cyanobacteria, such as Aphanizomenon ovalisporum.

Filing pathway

Alkaloids — computed by NPClassifier npclassifier.gnps2.org@2026-09-07, which is why it is pinned rather than recomputed. The gene cluster's asserted class is nrps, pks, other, from MIBiG.

Producer organisms 4

A claim that this taxon makes the compound. The basis says what the evidence addressed — a knockout and a database assertion are not the same claim.

Somebody found the compound in this organism and cited it. That is not a claim that the organism makes it, and nothing here promotes one to the other.

A locus claim and a taxon claim are different questions. Heterologous expression settles the first and leaves the second where the isolation report left it.

Open questions 2

name-disagreement — ChEBI calls this structure '7-epi-cylindrospermopsin' and MIBiG calls it 'cylindrospermopsin'. They share a Standard InChIKey, so if the names denote different compounds then one upstream record has the wrong structure. Check which.

shared-structure — This structure is reported by more than one MIBiG entry: BGC0000978, BGC0000979, BGC0000980, BGC0000981. Confirm they describe the same compound rather than an upstream cross-reference error.
