Isopatulin is a polyketide-derived fungal metabolite structurally related to patulin, produced by certain species of Penicillium and Aspergillus. Unlike patulin, which is known for its toxic properties, isopatulin has been less extensively studied but exhibits a similar lactone structure. Its mechanism of action is not well-characterized, though it may involve interactions with cellular thiol groups, potentially affecting redox balance. Applications of isopatulin remain limited, but it is of interest in mycotoxin research and the study of fungal secondary metabolites.
