Diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) is a small molecular weight phenolic metabolite belonging to the phloroglucinol (1,3,5- trihydroxybenzene) family produced by bacteria, including Pseudomonas strains. DAPG exhibits a broad range of biological activities, albeit with mostly low potency. In the search for novel actives, DAPG and related metabolites are important for dereplication to eliminate leads due to high amounts of weakly potent actives. Although weakly active, this family appears to be important in the biocontrol of plant diseases by some Pseudomonas strains.
Diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO.
