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 total syntheses of the PKC inhibitors (+)-calphostin D, (+)-phleichrome, cercosporin, and 10 novel perylenequinones are detailed. The highly convergent and flexible strategy developed employed an enantioselective oxidative biaryl coupling and a double cuprate epoxide opening, allowing the selective syntheses

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
