Identification of azaphilone derivatives of Monascus colorants from Talaromyces amestolkiae and their halochromic properties [PDF]
Currently, the ability to produce several kinds of water-soluble red natural colorants makes the genus Talaromyces particularly important to the dye industry, which can be an alternative to the use of harmful synthetic colorants.

Application and stability of fungal pigments using jelly sweets as a food model system
A workflow depicting the stability study of fungal pigments in jelly‐sweet model system. Summary Natural pigments have seen an increase in usage over the past decades due to their acclaimed safety and active biological properties. This is in line with the shift in consumer market preferences requiring a source replacement for synthetic colourants ...

AbstractThe diversity of azaphilones in stromatal extracts of the fungus Hypoxylon fragiforme was investigated and linked to their biosynthetic machineries by using bioinformatics. Nineteen azaphilone‐type compounds were isolated and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, and their absolute stereoconfigurations were assigned by using ...

Abstract Ferroptosis is an iron‐dependent cell death program that is characterized by excessive lipid peroxidation. Triggering ferroptosis has been proposed as a promising strategy to fight cancer and overcome drug resistance in antitumor therapy. Understanding the molecular interactions and structural features of ferroptosis‐inducing compounds might ...

Ancestral Sequence Reconstruction to Enable Biocatalytic Synthesis of Azaphilones. [PDF]
Biocatalysis can be powerful in organic synthesis but is often limited by enzymes' substrate scope and selectivity. Developing a biocatalytic step involves identifying an initial enzyme for the target reaction followed by optimization through rational design, directed evolution, or both.
