Aspergillimide is an indole alkaloid from Aspergillus species with anthelmintic activity.
Details
Aspergillimide is a secondary metabolite produced by an Aspergillus species and belongs to a class of indole alkaloids structurally related to paraherquamides. It differs from paraherquamides by the loss of the dioxygenated seven-membered ring and the fused phenyl ring, instead possessing a C8-keto group. Aspergillimide exhibits anthelmintic activity and represents a structurally simplified scaffold within the paraherquamide family of nematocidal fungal metabolites.
