Metabolite Identification
Common NameLigerin
DescriptionLigerin is a natural chlorinated merosesquiterpenoid belonging to the chemical class of sesquiterpenoids. It is derived from a marine-derived strain of Penicillium and is structurally related to fumagillin. Ligerin exhibits selective antiproliferative activity against osteosarcoma cell lines, demonstrating significant in vivo antitumor activity in murine models (PMID:24742383 ). The compound's synthesis and its analogs have been explored to understand the effects of substituting the C3-spiroepoxide with halogenated moieties and modifying the C6 chain (PMID:24742383 ). In addition to its antiproliferative properties, ligerin was isolated alongside other known compounds such as penicillic acid, orcinol, and orsellinic acid (PMID:23360521 ). Notably, ligerin displayed strong inhibitory activity against osteosarcoma cell lines, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent in cancer treatment (PMID:23360521 ). The unique chlorination and structural features of ligerin contribute to its biological activity, making it a compound of interest in the field of medicinal chemistry and cancer research.
