Metabolite Identification
Common NameLavanduquinocin
DescriptionLavanduquinocin is a potent neuroprotective carbazole alkaloid belonging to the chemical class of alkaloids, derived from Streptomyces species. This compound features a unique cyclic monoterpene/cyclolavandulyl moiety attached to its tricyclic carbazole nucleus, which contributes to its biological activity. The synthesis of lavanduquinocin has been achieved through various asymmetric synthetic routes, including the use of lipase-catalyzed reactions and transition metal complexes, highlighting its complex chemical structure (PMID:36608315 , PMID:17603201 , PMID:10824182 ). Notably, lavanduquinocin has demonstrated significant neuroprotective effects, as evidenced by its ability to protect neuronal hybridoma N18-RE-105 cells from L-glutamate toxicity, with an effective concentration (EC50) of 15.5 nM (PMID:7649853 ). This highlights its potential therapeutic applications in neurodegenerative conditions. The compound was first isolated from Streptomyces viridochromogenes, underscoring the importance of microbial sources in discovering novel neuroprotective agents (PMID:7649853 ). Overall, lavanduquinocin represents a promising candidate in the field of neuroprotection and synthetic organic chemistry.
