Application Notes

Meleagrin is an alkaloid with antitumor and antibiotic activity, isolated from a number of species of Penicillium. Meleagrin is a common taxonomic marker for fungal contamination of foodstuffs. Despite its wide detection in the environment, the mode of action and bioprofile has not been extensively reported. Note that meleagrin, the fungal metabolite, should not be confused with the low molecular weight protein, also meleagrin.
