Metabolite Identification
Common NameDehydroergosterol
DescriptionDehydroergosterol is a sterol, a subclass of lipids characterized by a multi-ring structure that plays crucial roles in cellular membranes. Its chemical structure features a unique arrangement of carbon atoms and double bonds, specifically including a dehydrogenated configuration at the C-9 and C-11 positions, which distinguishes it from ergosterol. In biological pathways, dehydroergosterol is involved in various metabolic processes, including the synthesis of other sterols and potential interactions with proteins such as PBP2a, where molecular docking studies indicate its promising stability and compactness (PMID:39714366 ). This compound has also been implicated in the Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions with chaetoglobosins, leading to the formation of novel compounds (PMID:40931146 ). Furthermore, it is noteworthy that dehydroergosterol and its derivatives have been identified as active components in non-polar extracts with potential anti-lung cancer properties (PMID:39488908 ) and have shown increased production in response to fungal predation (PMID:39276284 ). Despite its promising biological activities, dehydroergosterol's poor water solubility and lack of oral bioavailability suggest that structural optimization may enhance its druggability (PMID:39714366 ).
