Application

Cercosporin (C29H26O10) is a red pigment that has been isolated from cultures of a banana pathogen . It has been used to study toxin biodegredation in species such as Bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. Zinniae .

Biochem/physiol Actions

A light-induced polyketide phytotoxin reported to produce singlet oxygen when photoactivated.
Cercosporin, a polyketide phytotoxin, is activated by light and in the activated state, reacts with oxygen to produce toxic oxygen species such as singlet oxygen (O2) and superoxide (O2-). Production of reactive oxygen species leads to peroxidation of lipids in the plant cell membranes.

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

The evolution of the first total synthesis of perylenequinone cercosporin is described. The key features developed during these efforts include a biscuprate epoxide alkylation, installation of the methylidene acetal, palladium-catalyzed O-arylation, and C3,C3'-decarbonylation. Due to the rapid atropisomerization of the

Cercosporin is a polyketide phytotoxin produced by many phytopathogenic Cercospora spp. We investigated environmental signals that have elaborate control of cercosporin production. Light is the most critical factor for cercosporin production. Cercospora nicotianae accumulated substantial quantities of cercosporin only when

Cercosporin is a non-host-selective, photoactivated polyketide toxin produced by many phytopathogenic Cercospora species, which plays a crucial role during pathogenesis on host plants. Upon illumination, cercosporin converts oxygen molecules to toxic superoxide and singlet oxygen that damage various cellular components
