Metabolite IDMMDBc0015453
Metabolite Identification
Common NameAsperugin
DescriptionAsperugin is a secondary metabolite belonging to the chemical class of azaphilones, produced by the fungus Aspergillus rugulosus. This compound has garnered attention in the field of natural product chemistry due to its structural analogues and potential biological activities. A chemical study of secondary metabolites from NBERC_28952 led to the isolation of three new asperugin analogues, Aspersparin A-C (2-4), alongside a new azaphilone derivative, Aspersparin D (5), and two known compounds, including Asperugin B (1) and sydonic acid (6) (PMID:36616333 ). Furthermore, research into the syntheses and antimicrobial activities of fomecins A and B, asperugin, and related compounds highlights its relevance in the study of antimicrobial agents (PMID:7139828 ). The biological significance of asperugin is underscored by its origin as a metabolic product of Aspergillus rugulosus, suggesting a role in the ecological interactions of this fungal species (PMID:5891945 ). Overall, asperugin represents an intriguing subject for further investigation within the realms of chemistry and microbiology, particularly concerning its potential applications in pharmaceuticals.
