Metabolite Identification
Common NameTerrenolide S
DescriptionTerrenolide S is a butenolide, a chemical class characterized by a five-membered lactone ring containing a double bond. This metabolite has been identified as a new antileishmanial compound derived from the endophytic fungus Aspergillus terreus. In a study, Terrenolide S was isolated alongside six other known compounds, including (22E,24R)-stigmasta-5,7,22-trien-3-β-ol, stigmast-4-ene-3-one, and terretonin A, from the roots of Carthamus lanatus (Asteraceae) (PMID:26299734 ). The discovery of Terrenolide S highlights the potential of fungal metabolites in developing novel therapeutic agents, particularly against leishmaniasis, a disease caused by parasites of the Leishmania genus. The structural features of butenolides, such as the presence of the lactone and the conjugated double bond, may contribute to their biological activity, making them of interest in medicinal chemistry and pharmacology. Further research into Terrenolide S could elucidate its mechanism of action and enhance our understanding of its potential applications in treating parasitic infections.
