Metabolite Identification
Common NameQuadrone
DescriptionQuadrone is a cytotoxic sesquiterpene belonging to the chemical class of tricyclic compounds. It has garnered attention in biomedical literature for its potential as an antitumor agent, being isolated from the fungus Aspergillus terreus (PMID:627521 ). As a metabolite, quadrone serves as a common synthon for various sesquiterpenes, including pentalenene (PMID:19122440 ). Its absolute configurations have been determined through advanced computational methods, including density functional theory (DFT) calculations of optical rotation and electronic circular dichroism (ECD), marking a significant advance in the characterization of chiral natural products (PMID:16872144 ). Additionally, microbial transformations of quadrone have been studied, revealing its conversion to derivatives such as 8a-hydroxyquadrone (PMID:3598598 ). The compound has also been implicated in acid-catalyzed reactions, yielding other related compounds under varying conditions (PMID:14695798 ). Overall, quadrone's structural complexity and biological activity highlight its significance in natural product chemistry and its potential therapeutic applications.
