Metabolite Identification
Common NameAsterredione
DescriptionAsterredione is a cyclopentenedione, a chemical class characterized by a five-membered ring containing two double bonds and a ketone functional group. Its chemical structure features a 2-quaternary 1,3-cyclopentenedione skeleton, which is pivotal in its synthesis, achieved through a Darzens/ring-expansion strategy (PMID:24517486 ). The total synthesis of asterredione has been accomplished in five linear steps with an overall yield of 21.5%, and its structure has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography (PMID:24517486 ). Asterredione is involved in biosynthetic pathways, notably proposed to originate from asterriquinone D, indicating its relationship with other metabolites in the polyketide family (PMID:14695798 ). Additionally, it has been isolated alongside various other compounds from organisms such as Aspergillus terreus, highlighting its presence in natural product chemistry (PMID:41003322 ). Other compounds related to asterredione, including lucidone and linderone, have also been intensely investigated, reflecting its significance in the study of complex natural products (PMID:24605879 ).
