CHEBI:9168 EXACT SEEDED antibacterialenzyme 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REVIEWED records curator sign-off on identity, structure, filing class and producer claims; DEPRECATED retains a superseded or out-of-scope record.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.
A macrolide lactam isolated from Streptomyces hygroscopicus consisting of a 29-membered ring containing 4 trans double bonds, three of which are conjugated. It is an antibiotic, immunosupressive and antineoplastic agent.

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 nrps, 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.
| Taxon | Basis | Cluster | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Streptomyces rapamycinicus NRRL 5491 NCBITaxon:1343740 |
SOURCE_ASSERTION | mibig:BGC0001040 | PMID:7644502 |
Occurrences 25
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.

Open questions 1
name-disagreement — ChEBI calls this structure 'sirolimus' and MIBiG calls it 'rapamycin'. They share a Standard InChIKey, so if the names denote different compounds then one upstream record has the wrong structure. Check which.
