Metabolite Identification
Common Namerubrofusarin
Descriptionrubrofusarin is a member of the chemical class of anthraquinones, characterized by its unique structure as 5,6-dihydroxy-8-methoxy-2-methyl-4H-benzo[g]chromen-4-one (CAS: 3567-00-8, molecular formula C15H12O5). The compound features a benzochromene core with hydroxyl and methoxy substituents, which influence its chemical reactivity and potential biological activities. Rubrofusarin has been identified in various fungal species, including Aspergillus niger, where it is part of a complex mixture of metabolites (PMID:39130166 ). It has been shown to be involved in metabolic pathways related to polyketide biosynthesis, as evidenced by the upregulation of enzymes such as AurF, AurJ, and AurT in fungi, which are critical for pigment production (PMID:40205673 ). Additionally, rubrofusarin has been isolated alongside other compounds, indicating its presence in diverse biological systems and its potential interactions within metabolic networks (PMID:39865416 ). Theoretical studies have also explored its structural properties, including vibrational and UV-vis absorbance spectra, providing insights into its chemical behavior (PMID:36801731 ).
