Orsellinic acid
Orsellinic acid is from Chaetomium globosum endophytic. Orsellinic acid can block platelet activating factor (PAF)-mediated neuronal apoptosis without affecting G-protein coupled receptor (PAFR)-mediated neuroprotection, and it can effectively attenuate PAFR-independent neuronal apoptosis. It is a novel benzoquinone ring precursor for antroquinonol and 4-acetylantroquinonol B. It is formed from acetyl-coenzyme Q (CoQ) and malonyl-CoA via polyketide pathway.
