Metabolite Identification
Common NameSterigmatin
DescriptionSterigmatin is a secondary metabolite belonging to the chemical class of xanthones. It is characterized by a unique structure that combines a dihydrobisfuran ring with a xanthone nucleus in a linear arrangement, which contributes to its biological activity. Research indicates that sterigmatin is involved in various biochemical processes, including its conversion from unstable precursors like HAMA (PMID:32887494 ). Notably, sterigmatin does not serve as a precursor for G-group aflatoxins, highlighting its distinct metabolic pathway compared to other aflatoxins (PMID:10473388 ). Furthermore, studies have demonstrated that sterigmatin exhibits significant toxicity to mitochondrial functions, surpassing that of its structural isomer, demethylsterigmatocystin (PMID:23604834 ). Additionally, sterigmatin and related compounds have shown a positive response for DNA repair, suggesting potential carcinogenic properties (PMID:3081801 ). Overall, sterigmatin's chemical structure and biological effects underscore its relevance in both chemical and biological research contexts.
