Metabolite Identification
Common NameAsterriquinone
DescriptionAsterriquinone is a member of the chemical class of quinones, specifically categorized as a metabolite derived from various fungal species, including Aspergillus terreus. This compound has garnered attention for its potential neuroprotective activity, as evidenced by its inclusion in a group of non-endogenous quinones that exhibit such properties (PMID:38734756 ). Additionally, asterriquinone has been identified as a promising candidate for the development of new drugs aimed at treating Alzheimer's disease, demonstrating better binding scores as an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhibitor compared to established inhibitors (PMID:38734756 ). The chemical structures of various asterriquinones, including asterriquinone C-1 and asterriquinone F, have been described in detail, highlighting their structural diversity within this class of compounds (PMID:35883808 ; PMID:33266016 ). Furthermore, the biosynthesis of asterriquinones involves specific enzymes, such as asterriquinone prenyltransferase, which plays a crucial role in their production (PMID:24302698 ). Overall, asterriquinones represent a significant area of interest in both chemistry and biological research due to their diverse bioactive properties and potential therapeutic applications.
