What is ROQUEFORTINE C?
Description
The third alkaloid isolated from a surface culture of Penicillium roqueforti, roquefortine C is present in only small quantities and the amount obtained is insufficient for the full structure to be established.
Description
Roquefortine C is a mycotoxin that was first isolated from a strain of P. roqueforti, a species of Penicillium commercially used to ripen blue-
The Uses of ROQUEFORTINE C
Roquefortine C is a potent tremorgenic mycotoxin originally isolated from Penicillium roqueforti in 1975 in Japan. Parallel research by Scott and colleagues lead to the structure elucidation of roquefortine C as an unusual diketopiperazine formed by coupling a prenylated tryptophan and histidine. Roquefortine C was subsequently found to be produced by a diverse range of fungi, most notably Penicillium species. Roquefortine is an important mycotoxin as low levels can be found in foodstuffs.
The Uses of ROQUEFORTINE C
Roquefortine C has been used as a standard for the quantification of roquefortine C by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It has also been used as a standard for the quantification of roquefortine C by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC?MS/MS).
What are the applications of Application
Roquefortine C is a potent neurotoxin produced most notably by Penicillium species
Definition
ChEBI: Roquefortine C is a pyrroloindole.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Roquefortine C is a paralytic neurotoxin of a dioxopiperazine structure produced by a diverse range of fungi, most notably Penicillium species. It has been found in blue cheese and in many other food products due to natural occurrence and contamination. Roquefortine C was found to be active on a wide range of organisms. It inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, and cockerels treated with roquefortine lost their righting reflex and died within 8-12 hours. Mice injected with roquefortine C experienced neurotoxic properties. Roquefortine C was also reported to inhibit cytochrome P450 as well as tubulin polymerization.
