Common NameVerrucofortine
DescriptionVerrucofortine is a fungal alkaloid belonging to the chemical class of secondary metabolites. Its chemical structure is characterized by a complex arrangement of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms, derived from the amino acids tryptophan and leucine. This compound has been isolated from various strains of the fungus Penicillium, particularly Penicillium verrucosum var. Studies indicate that verrucofortine is part of a broader spectrum of fungal metabolites produced by these strains, including other notable compounds such as verrucosidin and cyclopeptin (PMID:26243556 , PMID:25109845 ). Analytical techniques such as high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with mass spectrometry have been employed to identify and characterize verrucofortine alongside other biologically active metabolites (PMID:23605430 ). Although it is associated with various biosynthetic pathways, including those leading to other alkaloids, studies have demonstrated that verrucofortine exhibits low toxicity in vivo, with no apparent toxic effects observed in mice at doses up to 160 mg/kg (PMID:3373229 ). This suggests a potential for further exploration of its biochemical properties and applications in pharmacology.
