atromentin
Description
Atromentin is a natural product with a unique structure, consisting of a benzofuran core and a quinone moiety. It is a red pigment produced by various fungi, including the mushroom *Dermocybe sanguinea*. Atromentin has been shown to exhibit a range of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic properties. It is studied for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in cancer treatment and wound healing. The synthesis of atromentin involves complex multi-step reactions, often utilizing natural precursors like anthraquinones. Its importance lies in its unique biological properties and potential applications in medicine and other fields. Further research is being conducted to explore its full therapeutic potential and develop novel therapeutic agents.'
atromentin: an enoyl-ACP reductase (FabK) inhibitor; isolated from Streptococcus pneumoniae; structure in first source [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]
atromentin : A member of the class of dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinones that is 2,5-dihydroxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione which is substituted by a 4-hydroxyphenyl group at positions 3 and 6. It is a mushroom pigment isolated from several fungi species and acts as a smooth muscle stimulant, and exhibits anticoagulant, antibacterial and antineoplastic properties.
