| Section2 = | Section3 = }} Brevianamides are a class of indole alkaloids produced as secondary metabolites of fungi in the genus ''Penicillium'' and ''Aspergillus''. Structurally similar to paraherquamides, they are a small class compounds that contain a bicyclo()diazoctane ring system. One of the major secondary metabolites in ''Penicillium'' spores, they are responsible for inflammatory response in lung cells. ==History== Originally isolated from ''Pennicillum compactum'' in 1969, brevianamide A has shown insecticidal activity.〔 Further studies showed that a minor secondary metabolite, brevianamide B, has an epimeric center at the spiro-indoxyl quaternary center. Both were found to fluoresce under long-wave ultraviolet radiation. Furthermore, under irradaton, brevianamide A has been shown to isomerize to brevianamide B. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brevianamide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
