Metabolite Identification
Common NameSclerotiorin
DescriptionSclerotiorin is a member of the azaphilone chemical class, characterized by a unique pyranoquinone core structure. This metabolite has been isolated from various fungal species, including the marine-derived fungus Microsphaeropsis arundinis, where it was identified alongside other sclerotiorin-type azaphilones featuring rare γ-lactone or tetrahydrofuran fragments at the C-3 position (PMID:40168493 ). The biosynthetic pathways of these compounds have been elucidated, revealing the role of the LutB transcription factor in overexpressing pathway-specific genes to produce new sclerotiorin-type azaphilones (PMID:38962874 ). Additionally, a LutC-LutD binary oxidoreductase system has been discovered, contributing to the understanding of the basic biosynthetic pathway of sclerotiorin-type azaphilones (PMID:38962874 ). Sclerotiorin also exhibits antioxidant properties, with its activity measured against that of sclerotioramine, which demonstrated significantly higher antioxidant capacity (PMID:38514498 ). The compound has been identified in various fungal species, including Penicillium sclerotiorum and Clonostachys rosea, highlighting its widespread occurrence in nature (PMID:38051942 ).
