Metabolite Identification
Common NamePyrophen
DescriptionPyrophen is a secondary metabolite belonging to the chemical class of amino acid-pyrone derivatives. It has garnered attention in biomedical research due to its notable biological activities, particularly its antifungal and anticancer properties. Studies have demonstrated that pyrophen exhibits antifungal activity against various strains, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 4.37 to 280.61 µg/mL (PMID:39770520 ). Additionally, pyrophen has been isolated from the endophytic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus strain KARSV04, where it was shown to synergize the effects of doxorubicin in MCF7 breast cancer cells, although it did not significantly enhance doxorubicin-induced cytotoxicity in T47D cells (PMID:32636705 ). Furthermore, pyrophen has been implicated in modulating the cell cycle, particularly inducing a slight increase in the S-phase cell population in T47D cells (PMID:32636705 ). The synthesis of pyrophen complexes with actinides has also been reported, indicating its potential utility in coordination chemistry (PMID:39435794 ). Overall, pyrophen represents a compound of interest for its multifaceted roles in both antifungal activity and cancer research.
