Metabolite Identification
Common NameAsperterone
DescriptionAsperterone is a furandione, a chemical class characterized by a five-membered ring containing both oxygen and carbon atoms. This metabolite has been isolated from the endophytic fungus Aspergillus terreus, which is known to reside in various plant species, including Malus halliana and Mammea siamensis. The isolation of asperterone was reported alongside other metabolites, highlighting the diverse chemical repertoire of A. terreus. Specifically, two new furandiones, asperterone B and C, were identified alongside four known metabolites from the liquid culture of A. terreus (PMID:22971827 ). Additionally, asperterone was obtained in conjunction with a new butenolide, aspernolide D, further emphasizing the complex biosynthetic capabilities of this fungus (PMID:20823603 ). The biological significance of furandiones like asperterone may relate to their potential roles in plant-fungal interactions or as bioactive compounds, although further research is needed to elucidate their specific functions and mechanisms of action in biological systems.
