pseurotin

Description

Pseurotin A (58523-30-1) is a fungal metabolite with novel structure. Displays potent neuritogenic activity in PC12 cells. Induces multipolar and branching neurites comparable to that produced by β-NGF.1 Displays immunosuppressive activity via inhibition of immunoglobulin E production in vitro.2 Displays antiproliferative effects on four glioma cell lines by regulating tumor metabolic enzymes.3 Inhibits osteoclastogenesis and prevents ovariectomized-induced bone loss by suppression of ROS.4

Uses

Pseurotin A is a fungal metabolite with an unusual hetero-spirocyclic ring system. It has potent neuritogenic activity in PC12 phaechromocytoma cells, a useful model for adrenergic neuronal differentiation. Pseurotin A induces multipolar and branching neurites comparable to β-NGF, an endogenous neurotrophic factor. Pseurotin A also exhibits chitinase inhibition and acts synergistically with azole antifungal agents.

Uses

Pseurotin A shows antiparasitic and anticancer activity. It exhibits inhibition towards IgE (immunoglobin E) production.
