Metabolite Identification
Common NameMeleagrine
DescriptionMeleagrine is a secondary metabolite belonging to the chemical class of alkaloids. It has been identified in various strains of endophytic fungi, particularly those from the genus Penicillium, associated with plants such as Annona squamosa L. Studies have shown that meleagrine, alongside other exometabolites like penicillin G and chrysogin, contributes to a diverse array of natural products with potential applications in biotechnology and pharmacology (PMID:39799418 ). However, despite its structural complexity, meleagrine and its counterpart chrysogine have been reported to exhibit no significant anticancer or antimicrobial activities (PMID:26030999 ). The characterization of meleagrine has been supported by various physical, chemical, and spectral analyses, confirming its presence in the studied fungal strains (PMID:26030999 ). As research continues to explore the potential of meleagrine within the context of natural product discovery, it remains a subject of interest for its unique properties and the broader implications for understanding fungal metabolites in ecological and pharmaceutical contexts.
