Metabolite Identification
Common NameAspergilol A
DescriptionAspergilol A is a secondary metabolite belonging to the class of polyketides. This compound has garnered attention in biomedical research due to its significant cytotoxic activities against various cancer cell lines, including MCF-7, MDA-MB231, and HepG2, with reported IC50 values ranging from 21.20 to 48.76 μM. The ability of aspergilol A to inhibit the growth of these cancer cells highlights its potential as a therapeutic agent in oncology. Furthermore, its structural analog, aspergilol B, has also demonstrated cytotoxic effects, specifically on MCF-7 cells with an IC50 of 27.41 μM, suggesting that related compounds within this chemical class may share similar biological activities. The exploration of aspergilol A and its derivatives could lead to the development of novel anti-cancer therapies, making it an important subject of study in the fields of medicinal chemistry and cancer biology.
