asperfuranone
Description
asperfuranone: an antineoplastic agent isolated from Aspergillus nidulans; structure in first source [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]
asperfuranone : A member of the class of 2-benzofurans that is 6,7-dihydro-2-benzofuran-4(5H)-one that is substituted at positions 5 and 6 by hydroxy groups, at position 5 by a methyl group and at position 1 by a (2E,4E,6S)-4,6-dimethylocta-2,4-dienoyl group (the 5S,6R-diastereoisomer). A polyketide that was first obtained from the fungus Aspergillus nidulans by using a genomic mining approach.

| 2-benzofurans | |
| tertiary alcohol | A tertiary alcohol is a compound in which a hydroxy group, -OH, is attached to a saturated carbon atom which has three other carbon atoms attached to it. |
| secondary alcohol | A secondary alcohol is a compound in which a hydroxy group, -OH, is attached to a saturated carbon atom which has two other carbon atoms attached to it. |
| cyclic ketone | |
| diol | A compound that contains two hydroxy groups, generally assumed to be, but not necessarily, alcoholic. Aliphatic diols are also called glycols. |
| polyketide | Natural and synthetic compounds containing alternating carbonyl and methylene groups ('beta-polyketones'), biogenetically derived from repeated condensation of acetyl coenzyme A (via malonyl coenzyme A), and usually the compounds derived from them by further condensations, etc. Considered by many to be synonymous with the less frequently used terms acetogenins and ketides. |
| tertiary alpha-hydroxy ketone | An alpha-hydroxy ketone in which the carbonyl group and the hydroxy group are linked by a carbon bearing two organyl groups. |
