3-(1-Methylethyl)-6-(phenylMethyl)-2(1H)-pyrazinone Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Beschreibung
Aureusimine B, also known as phevalin, is a natural pyrazinone produced by certain fungi and by
Staphylococcus spp., including
S. aureus. Its synthesis appears to be initiated by a conserved nonribosomal peptide synthetase that creates a dipeptide (phenylalanine-valine) aldehyde, which then undergoes cyclization and oxidation. Aureusimine B inhibits calpain in a casein hydrolysis assay (IC
50 = 1.3 μM), contributes to
S. aureus infection in mice, and alters human keratinocyte gene expression.
Verwenden
Aureusimine B is a novel small molecule isolated from S. aureus as one of a pair of related metabolites controversially identified as virulence factors in the pathology of Golden Staph. Aureusimine B
has also been reported as an inhibitor of the protease, calpain.
