Metabolite Identification
Common NameParguerene
DescriptionParguerene is a metabolite belonging to the chemical class of modified acyl amides and lipopeptides. It has been identified as a natural product derived from marine cyanobacteria, specifically from Moorea producens, where it was isolated alongside precarriebowmide (PMID:24044577 ). Parguerene exhibits structural similarities to stipiamide, another bacterial metabolite, highlighting its unique chemical characteristics (PMID:24044577 ). Additionally, parguerene has been studied for its biological activity, particularly as a potent inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in multidrug-resistant human cancer cells, demonstrating non-cytotoxic, dose-dependent effects on drug efflux mechanisms (PMID:23415901 ). This compound has shown the ability to reverse P-gp-mediated resistance to various chemotherapeutic agents, including vinblastine and doxorubicin, and has been noted for its superior potency compared to traditional inhibitors like verapamil (PMID:23415901 ). Furthermore, parguerene-related compounds, such as those isolated from the red alga Jania rubens, expand the understanding of its chemical diversity and potential therapeutic applications (PMID:15162360 ). Overall, parguerene represents a significant class of marine-derived metabolites with promising pharmacological properties.
