Metabolite Identification
Common NameAsperjinone
DescriptionAsperjinone is a nor-neolignan, a class of chemical compounds characterized by their unique structural features and biological activities. This metabolite has been isolated from the thermophilic fungus Aspergillus terreus, highlighting its natural origin and potential significance in pharmacological applications. The total synthesis of asperjinone, along with its structural elucidation, has been achieved using advanced synthetic methods, including Basavaiah's one-pot Friedel-Crafts/maleic anhydride formation protocol (PMID:39110498 ). Notably, asperjinone exhibits promising anti-inflammatory activity, suggesting its potential as a candidate for developing novel anti-inflammatory agents aimed at mitigating inflammation in acute kidney injury scenarios (PMID:39110498 ). The structure of asperjinone has been revised through computer-assisted methods to ensure accurate representation of its chemical properties (PMID:23289877 ). Additionally, it has been noted that asperjinone, along with terrein, has effects on ABCG2-expressing breast cancer cells, indicating its relevance in cancer research (PMID:22360613 ). Overall, asperjinone represents a significant compound within the realm of natural products, with implications for both medicinal chemistry and therapeutic development.
