ALTERNARIOL MONOMETHYL ETHER Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

An alternaria mycotoxin and genotoxin, found in common edible crops. It inhibits the activity of various DNA-topoisomerases, increasing he rate of DNA strand breaks.

Definition

ChEBI: Djalonensone is a benzochromenone that is alternariol in which the hydroxy group at position 9 has been converted into the corresponding methyl ether. A natural product found in Chaetomium globosum as well as being one of the two most important compounds belonging to the group of Altenaria mycotoxins. It has a role as an antifungal agent, a fungal metabolite and a mycotoxin. It is a benzochromenone and an aromatic ether. It is functionally related to an alternariol.
