Altenusin

Altenusin is a polyphenol fungal metabolite originally isolated from the fungus Alternaria that has diverse biological activities. It inhibits Src kinase with an IC50 value of 20 nM. Altenusin inhibits fibrillization of recombinant tau fragments in vitro and phosphorylation of tau in SH-SY5Y cells expressing human P301L mutant tau when used at a concentration of 10 µM. It is an agonist of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR, EC50 = 3.2 µM) that reduces blood glucose, serum insulin, and serum cholesterol levels, as well as hepatic lipogenic gene expression and steatosis, in a high fat diet-induced mouse model of obesity when administered at 30 mg/kg per day. Altenusin also has antioxidant and antifungal properties.Formal Name: 3,4',5'-trihydroxy-5-methoxy-2'-methyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-carboxylic acid. CAS Number: 31186-12-6. Synonyms: Alutenusin.
