Metabolite Identification
Common NamePenimethavone A
DescriptionPenimethavone A is a flavone, a class of compounds characterized by a specific arrangement of phenolic structures, which has been identified as a metabolite in biomedical literature. This novel flavone was isolated from the fungus Penicillium chrysogenum, which was cultured from the gorgonian Carijoa sp. Notably, penimethavone A possesses a rare unique methyl group at ring-B, distinguishing it from other flavones and contributing to its potential biological activities. The exploration of such metabolites is crucial as they may exhibit various pharmacological properties, which can be leveraged in drug development and therapeutic applications. The study of penimethavone A underscores the importance of marine-derived fungi as a source of novel bioactive compounds, highlighting the ongoing research into their chemical diversity and potential benefits for human health (PMID:26998621 ).
