Common NameBromosphaerone
DescriptionBromosphaerone is a brominated natural product belonging to the class of terpenoids. Its chemical structure features a complex arrangement of carbon atoms, characterized by a bicyclic framework typical of many terpenes, which contributes to its unique biological properties. Bromosphaerone is synthesized through metabolic pathways involving the precursor sphaerolabdadiene-3,14-diol, as indicated in the literature (PMID:11520219 ). This compound, along with its derivatives such as 12S-hydroxybromosphaerodiol, has been shown to exhibit significant antibacterial activity, particularly against the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 0.104 and 0.146 microM, respectively (PMID:11520219 ). The presence of bromine in its structure is believed to enhance its bioactivity, making bromosphaerone an interesting subject of study for its potential applications in antimicrobial therapies.
