CHEBI:167321 EXACT SEEDED
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REVIEWED records curator sign-off on identity, structure, filing class and producer claims; DEPRECATED retains a superseded or out-of-scope record.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 member of the class of pyrazinones that is pyrazin-2(1H)-one substituted by isopropyl and isobutyl groups at positions 3 and 6, respectively. It is a natural product found in Staphylococcus aureus.

Filing pathway
Unclassified — 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, 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 1
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 2
name-disagreement — ChEBI calls this structure 'leuvalin' and MIBiG calls it 'aureusimine C'. 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: BGC0000308, BGC0002287. Confirm they describe the same compound rather than an upstream cross-reference error.
