Metabolite Identification
Common NameAszonalenin
DescriptionAszonalenin is a prenylated indole alkaloid belonging to the chemical class of alkaloids. It is derived from the secondary metabolites of the endophytic fungus Aspergillus terreus, which is associated with coral species such as Pavona. The chemical structure of aszonalenin features a complex arrangement that includes a prenyl group, contributing to its biological activities. Aszonalenin has been shown to influence various cellular pathways, including the modulation of inflammation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in response to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) (PMID:35704971 ). Additionally, it has been identified as a potential inhibitor of NF-κB activity, which is implicated in cancer progression, particularly in ependymoma driven by the ZFTA-RELA fusion protein (PMID:35131506 ). The compound's anticancer properties have also been linked to its interaction with cannabinoid G-protein coupled receptors type 1 (CB1), suggesting a mechanism for its effects on prostate malignancies (PMID:36313355 ). Overall, aszonalenin represents a promising candidate for further research in cancer therapeutics and related biological applications.
