Metabolite Identification
Common NameVersicolactone B
DescriptionVersicolactone B is a sesquiterpene lactone, a chemical class known for its diverse biological activities. This metabolite has garnered attention in biomedical literature for its potent cytotoxic effects, particularly against the PANC-1 cell line, where it exhibited an IC50 value of 9.4 μM, indicating significant potential for therapeutic applications (PMID:30392953 ). The absolute configurations of versicolactone B have been elucidated using a modified Mosher's method, marking an important advancement in the understanding of its chemical structure (PMID:25562805 ). Additionally, preliminary studies suggest that versicolactone B interacts with components of the complement activation cascade, specifically C1q, C3, and C9, which may contribute to its biological effects (PMID:25562805 ). Despite its intriguing properties, there is limited literature available on versicolactone B, with a few studies focusing on its structural determination and biological activities in the context of the root of Aristolochia versicolar (PMID:3788595 ). Overall, versicolactone B represents a promising subject for further research in both chemistry and biology.
