Aspercolorin is a fungal secondary metabolite belonging to the class of anthraquinone derivatives, typically isolated from species of the genus Aspergillus. It exhibits bioactivity including antimicrobial and cytotoxic effects, attributed to its ability to intercalate with DNA and disrupt cellular redox processes. Its mechanism of action is believed to involve generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and interference with essential enzyme systems in microbial and cancer cells.
