desferrioxamine B
CHEBI:4356 EXACT SEEDED cytotoxicenzyme inhibitor
What these status tags mean
Curation status describes a workflow state. SEEDED means the record entered through the source-seeding workflow; it does not imply that no later curation occurred. PROPOSED marks an addition awaiting review; REVIEWED records curator sign-off on identity, structure, filing class and producer claims; DEPRECATED retains a superseded or out-of-scope record. These are workflow decisions, not independently verified human review. Agent-assisted contributions may appear in the record history.
Grounding describes the identifier mapping: EXACT uses an ontology identity asserted by the source; MINTED keeps a local identifier when no defensible ontology identity is available; REVIEW_NEEDED flags an exact structure whose ontology identity needs adjudication. The grounding note retains any unresolved alternatives. These tags do not establish the strength of producer or activity evidence.
An acyclic desferrioxamine that is butanedioic acid in which one of the carboxy groups undergoes formal condensation with the primary amino group of N-(5-aminopentyl)-N-hydroxyacetamide and the second carboxy group undergoes formal condensation with the hydroxyamino group of N1-(5-aminopentyl)-N1-hydroxy-N4-[5-(hydroxyamino)pentyl]butanediamide. It is a siderophore native to Streptomyces pilosus biosynthesised by the DesABCD enzyme cluster as a high affinity Fe(III) chelator.

Fatty acids — 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.

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.

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.
Mechanism & Biosynthesis Overview
Causal graph — biosynthesis 7 nodes, 6 edges
Streptomyces coelicolor M145 premature-stop genetics. Five-day ISP-2 extract LC-HRMS/MS signals are assigned to free desferrioxamine B, not metal complexes or absolute concentrations. Canonical proteins denote targeted loci, not mutant sequences. No direct catalysis, complete activity loss, protein-specific independence, or quantitative complementation rescue is asserted. Gene-only traces do not distinguish alternative stop alleles.

Open questions 2
name-disagreement — ChEBI calls this structure 'desferrioxamine B' and MIBiG calls it 'desferrioxamin B'. 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: BGC0000940, BGC0000941, BGC0001453, BGC0002305. Confirm they describe the same compound rather than an upstream cross-reference error.
