Berkeleyamide C

Berkeleyamide C (Compound III) is a novel amide-type natural product isolated from the deep-water fungus Penicillium rubrum, which was originally sourced from the extreme environment of Berkeley Pit Lake, Montana, USA. This fungal strain has previously been reported to produce a variety of structurally novel hybrid polyketide-terpenoid metabolites. As a member of this intriguing series, berkeleyamide C features a distinctive chemical scaffold and holds promising potential for applications in natural product chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and bioactivity screening.
