Abstract
- Asteltoxins belong to a group of polyene pyrone mycotoxins that are known to be potent inhibitors of mitochondrial ATP synthesis and ATP hydrolysis. Asteltoxin A was first isolated from the toxic maize cultures of Aspergillus stellatus. Several attempts have been made to synthesize asteltoxin A, starting with the synthesis of a bis(tetrahydrofuran) moiety that has been demonstrated previously in biosynthetic studies. This review highlights the fungal sources of asteltoxins, similar asteltoxins, biosynthetic pathways, their synthetic trials, and their biological activities. This review is the first of its kind covering the periods from 1979 to 2023. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
