aetokthonotoxin

CHEBI:167886 EXACT SEEDED

A bromoindole that is 2,3,5-tribromo-1H-indole which is substituted by a 5,7-dibromo-3-cyano-1H-indol-2-yl group at position 1. It is a biindole alkaloid isolated from the cyanobacterium Aetokthonos hydrillicola and causes vacuolar myelinopathy in bald eagles.

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 other, from MIBiG.

Producer organisms 1

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.
