Metabolite Identification
Common NameXanthofulvin
DescriptionXanthofulvin is a semaphorin inhibitor belonging to the class of natural products derived from fungi. This metabolite, isolated from the cultured broth of the fungus Penicillium sp., has garnered attention for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in autoimmune disorders. Preclinical research has demonstrated the efficacy of targeting semaphorins to reduce inflammation and disease severity, with xanthofulvin being highlighted alongside other inhibitors such as SM-345431 (PMID:39608445 ). Furthermore, studies have shown that xanthofulvin can influence the cellular orientation of rod photoreceptors, an effect that diminishes with its application (PMID:28806446 ). In the context of microbial screening, xanthofulvin was purified from over 9,000 broths and was found to inhibit enzymes EhCS1 and EhCS3 (PMID:26441896 ). Additionally, xanthofulvin has been involved in the synthesis of natural products that promote spinal cord regeneration (PMID:23086682 ). The tautomeric structure of this compound has been elucidated through spectroscopic analyses, providing insights into its chemical properties (PMID:14513903 ). Overall, xanthofulvin represents a promising candidate for further exploration in both biochemical and therapeutic contexts.
