Biosynthesis of norsolorinic acid and averufin: substrate specificity of norsolorinic acid synthase

Abstract

The N-acetylcysteamine thioesters of pentanoic and 6-fluorohexanoic acids are metabolised by cultures of Aspergillus parasiticus ATCC 24690 to produce side chain modified analogues or norsolorinic acid in which the normal hexanoyl side chain is replaced by pentanoyl and 6-fluorohexanoyl moieties respectively.
