Description
Pseurotin A is a secondary metabolite of Aspergillus. It has effective neurogenesis activity in PC12 pheochromocytoma cells, induces multipolar and branched neurites equivalent to β-NGF (an endogenous neurotrophic factor), and also exhibits chitinase inhibition. And it has a synergistic effect with azole antifungal agents.
