CHEBI:156318 EXACT SEEDED

A member of the class of 2-pyranones that is 2H-pyran-2-one in which the hydrogens at positions 3, 4, 5 and 6 are replaced by methyl, hydroxy, methyl and (4E,6E,12E)-4,6,8,12,14-pentamethylhexadeca-4,6,12-trien-2-yl groups, respectively. It is a decaketide that is anabolized by a type I polyketide synthase in Alternaria solani.

Filing pathway

Polyketides — 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.
