Petromurin C
Application Notes
Petromurin C was isolated as a component of a complex of bis-indolyl benzenoids from Petromyces muricatus (Aspergillus muricatus) by researchers at Hoshi University, Japan in 1997. Petromurin C is a 5-hydroxyindoyl analogue of asterriquinol D dimethylether and together with the other petromurins A, B and D, comprises a highly distinctive chemotaxonomic profile that typifies A. muricatus. Petromurin C exhibits weak antitumor activity but has not been extensively investigated to date.
