Application

Chaetocin from Chaetomium minutum has been used to determine its effects on sensitization of various cells.[1] It has also been used to determine the biological functions of OS-induced heterochromatin formation.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Chaetocin is a competitive inhibitor for S-adenosylmethionine. The specificity of chaetocin for SU(VAR)3-9 makes this compound an excellent tool for the study of heterochromatin-mediated gene repression.[3]
Chaetocin is an antibacterial mycotoxin.[4] It is a specific inhibitor of lysine-specific histone methyltransferase making the compound useful in the study of heterochromatin mediated gene repression.[5] Chaetocin is a selective competitive inhibitor of thioredoxin reductase-1 (TrxR1), a putative mechanism of its anticancer activity.[6]
Methyltransferase making the compound useful in the study of heterochromatin mediated gene repression.[5]

General description

Chaetocin is a fungal metabolite with antimicrobial and cytostatic activity.[7] It belongs to the 3,6-epidithio-diketopiperazines class[3] of which gliotoxin, sporidesmin, aranotin, oryzachloride, verticillin A and the melinacidins are members.[8] Chaetocin is a molecular dimer of two five-membered rings cis fused.
