Metabolite Identification
Common NameAspergilol B
DescriptionAspergilol B is a secondary metabolite belonging to the class of polyketides. This compound has garnered attention in biomedical research due to its cytotoxic properties. Specifically, studies have demonstrated that aspergilol B exhibits a significant cytotoxic effect on MCF-7 cancer cells, with an IC50 value of 27.41 μM, indicating its potential as a therapeutic agent in cancer treatment (PMID:33480256 ). The activity of aspergilol B, alongside its analogue aspergilol A, which also shows cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines including MCF-7, MDA-MB231, and HepG2, underscores the importance of polyketides in the search for novel anticancer compounds. The underlying mechanisms of action and the broader biological implications of aspergilol B's effects on cancer cells remain areas of active investigation, highlighting its relevance in the field of cancer pharmacology.
