Metabolite Identification
Common NameTropolone
Descriptiontropolone, also known as 2-hydroxytropone or purpurocatechol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tropolones. Tropolones are compounds containing tropone ring with a hydroxyl group at ring position 2. tropolone is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on tropolone. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Tropolone is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Tropolone is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.

Specific function:
Non-reducing polyketide synthase; part of the gene cluster that mediates the biosynthesis of xenovulene A, an unusual meroterpenoid that has potent inhibitory effects on the human gamma-aminobutyrate A (GABAA) benzodiazepine receptor (PubMed:17912413, PubMed:29773797, PubMed:20552126). The first step of xenovulene A biosynthesis is the biosynthesis of 3-methylorcinaldehyde performed by the non-reducing polyketide synthase aspks1 (PubMed:17912413, PubMed:29773797, PubMed:20552126). The salicylate hydroxylase asL1 then catalyzes the oxidative dearomatization of 3-methylorcinaldehyde to yield a dearomatized hydroxycyclohexadione (PubMed:29773797). The 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase asL3 further catalyzes the oxidative ring expansion to provide the first tropolone metabolite (PubMed:29773797). The cytochrome P450 monooxygenase asR2 allows the synthesis of tropolone hemiacetal (PubMed:29773797). In parallel, a previously unrecognised class of terpene cyclase, asR6, produces alpha-humulene from farnesylpyrophosphate (FPP) (PubMed:29773797). The putative Diels-Alderase asR5 probably catalyzes the formation of the tropolone-humulene skeleton by linking humulene and the polyketide moiety (PubMed:29773797). Oxidative-ring contractions catalyzed by asL4 and asL6 then processively remove carbon atoms from the polyketide to yield xenovulene A (PubMed:29773797).
