CHEBI:74221 EXACT SEEDED

A member of the class of isoindoles that is isoindolin-1-one which is substituted at positions 4, 5 and 6 by hydroxy, triprenyloxy and methoxy groups, respectively. The alkaloid was isolated from the model fungus Aspegillus nidulans.

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 pks, 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.
