Structure
| Standard InChIKey | GRIDHCOCFJSWSY-UHFFFAOYSA-N |
|---|---|
| SMILES | CC1=C(C(=C(C2=C1OC3=CC(=C(C(=O)C32C)C(=O)C)O)O)C(=O)C)O |

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.

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.
