CHEBI:157684 EXACT SEEDED

A member of the class of pyrroloquinolines that is pyrrolo[4,3,2-de]quinoline in which the hydrogens at positions 4, 6 and 8 are replaced by (1E)-1-methoxy-3-oxoprop-1-en-3-yl, acetylamino and amino groups, respectively. It is an alkaloid isolated from Streptomyces and Salinispora species, exhibits potent immunosuppressive activity, and inhibits Fyn and Lck protein kinases.

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, from MIBiG.

Producer organisms 2

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.

Occurrences 6

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 1

shared-structure — This structure is reported by more than one MIBiG entry: BGC0001006, BGC0001007. Confirm they describe the same compound rather than an upstream cross-reference error.
