Metabolite Identification
Common NameAspulvinone E
DescriptionAspulvinone E is a secondary metabolite belonging to the chemical class of mycotoxins, specifically produced by the fungus Aspergillus terreus. This compound has garnered attention for its potential biological activities, including interactions with key protein targets. In a recent study, aspulvinone E was utilized as a model compound to screen a library of chaperones, resulting in the identification of several chaperones that enhanced its production (PMID:40383781 ). Notably, overexpression of chaperones YDJ1 and SSA1 led to an 84% increase in aspulvinone E production, attributed to elevated levels of the MelA synthetase involved in its biosynthesis (PMID:40383781 ). Additionally, molecular dynamics simulations highlighted aspulvinone E's promising binding affinity to the active sites of FLT3 and EGFR, suggesting its potential as an inhibitor of these targets (PMID:37401132 ). In vitro assays further demonstrated its antiproliferative effects, particularly against the HepG2 cell line (PMID:37401132 ). Overall, aspulvinone E represents a significant compound within the realm of mycotoxins, with implications for both biochemical research and potential therapeutic applications.
