Escherichia coli metabolite
1,4-benzodioxan1,4-benzodioxan: structure in first source
1-methylindole1-methylindole: SKATOLE refers to 3-methylindole; RN given refers to parent cpd; structure

methylindole : Any member of the class of indoles carrying one or more methyl substituents.
lovastatinlovastatin : A fatty acid ester that is mevastatin carrying an additional methyl group on the carbobicyclic skeleton. It is used in as an anticholesteremic drug and has been found in fungal species such as Aspergillus terreus and Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom).

Lovastatin: A fungal metabolite isolated from cultures of Aspergillus terreus. The compound is a potent anticholesteremic agent. It inhibits 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HYDROXYMETHYLGLUTARYL COA REDUCTASES), which is the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. It also stimulates the production of low-density lipoprotein receptors in the liver.
