Metabolite Identification
Common Name5-acetoxymethylfuran-3-carboxylic acid
Description5-acetoxymethylfuran-3-carboxylic acid is a furan derivative, a class of organic compounds characterized by a five-membered aromatic ring containing oxygen. This compound is notable for its isolation from the fermentation process of Aspergillus flavus, an endophytic fungus found in Cephalotaxus fortunei, indicating its potential role in the biochemical interactions within this ecological niche (PMID:25942282 ). The presence of furan derivatives like 5-acetoxymethylfuran-3-carboxylic acid in fungal metabolites suggests possible biological activities, which may include antimicrobial or phytotoxic properties, although specific biological functions require further investigation. Understanding the chemistry and biological implications of such metabolites can enhance our knowledge of fungal ecology and their potential applications in biotechnology or medicine.
