Metabolite Identification
Common NameTerreusinone
DescriptionTerreusinone is a dipyrroloquinone metabolite described in biomedical literature, primarily isolated from various fungal species such as Talaromyces sp. and Aspergillus tamarii. It has garnered attention due to its diverse biological activities, including in vitro anti-inflammatory properties and inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), which are crucial in cellular signaling pathways. For instance, terreusinone A has demonstrated inhibitory effects on PTP1B, SHP2, and CDC25B with varying IC50 values, showcasing its potential as a therapeutic agent (PMID:25849805 ). The absolute configuration of terreusinone A was established using modified Mosher's method, confirming its structural integrity (PMID:38067576 ). Additionally, terreusinone has been identified among other metabolites in marine-derived fungi, indicating its ecological significance (PMID:25705550 ). Its isolation from endophytic fungi highlights its potential role in natural product chemistry and pharmacology, as well as its relevance in the search for novel bioactive compounds (PMID:35148546 , PMID:32315180 ). Overall, terreusinone represents a noteworthy compound within the realm of fungal metabolites, with promising implications for medicinal chemistry and biological research.
