Abstract:
:The fungus Aspergillus japonicus MF275 produces himeic acid A (1), containing a 4-pyrone ring, along with its congeners, himeic acids B (2) and C (3). During culture, 1 was gradually converted to 3, the corresponding 4-pyridone derivative. A study of the relationship between the culture pH and the fungal metabolites showed that a decrease from pH 6.5 to pH 2 is essential for production of 1, while a subsequent increase to pH 5 is necessary for production of 3. In addition, we revealed that 1 was non-enzymatically converted to 3 by the incorporation of an ammonium nitrogen atom in a pH 5 buffer, and that 1 was converted to 2 at a conversion ratio of 50% during incubation in MeOH for five days.
