Common NameIsotuberculosino
Descriptionisotuberculosinol, also known as nosyberkol or edaxadiene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tertiary alcohols. Tertiary alcohols are compounds in which a hydroxy group, -OH, is attached to a saturated carbon atom R3COH (R not H ). Maturation of the phagosome would enable it to kill the bacterium. Nosyberkol was originally isolated in 2004 from a marine sponge in the ocean near island of Nosy Be after which it was named. isotuberculosinol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). These biosynthetic genes include isotuberculosinol synthase. Isotuberculosinol functions by preventing maturation of the host-cell phagosome in which the bacterium lives. Mutations in genes involved in the biosynthetic pathway of nosyberkol result in normal development of the phagosome and reduction of mycobacterial infection. Isotuberculosinol, also called nosyberkol or edaxadiene is a diterpene molecule produced by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of TB, which aids in its pathogenesis. The molecule was characterised as a triterpene but the structure was revised following its chemical synthesis in 2010.
