Metabolite Identification
Common NameDechloroisochromophilone II
DescriptionDechloroisochromophilone II is a member of the azaphilone chemical class, characterized by its unique isochromophilone structure. This compound is derived from the fermentation of the fungus Penicillium multicolor FO-2338, which produces various isochromophilones, including dechloroisochromophilone III and isorotiorin. The chemical structure of dechloroisochromophilone II features a chromone-like core with specific substitutions that contribute to its biological activity. Notably, azaphilones such as dechloroisochromophilone II have been shown to inhibit the binding of gp120 to CD4, a critical interaction in the HIV entry pathway. This inhibition suggests potential applications in antiviral research, particularly in developing strategies to block HIV infection. The synthesis and isolation of dechloroisochromophilone II and related compounds from the culture broth of Penicillium multicolor highlight the diverse metabolic capabilities of this organism and its potential as a source of bioactive natural products (PMID: [insert PMID here]).
