averantin Chemical Properties, Uses, Production

Description

Averantin is an anthraquinone fungal metabolite that has been found in Aspergillus. It is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of aflatoxin B1 . Averantin is active against B. subtilis bacteria and the plant pathogenic fungus F. solani in vitro (MICs = 16-32 μg/ml).

Uses

Averantin is the minor metabolite of the fungus Cercospora arachidicola[1]. Averantin is an aflatoxin B1 precursor that can be used in the biosynthetic pathway[2].

Definition

ChEBI: A tetrahydroxyanthraquinone that is 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone bearing a 1-hydroxyhexyl substituent at position 2.

storage

+4°C
