Monascorubrin (an azaphilone derivative) was isolated from Monascus anka, 'Monascus pigment', a natural pigment of food additivies, was extracted from Monasucs spp., and chaetoviridin A, one of the azaphilones, was isolated from Chaetomium globosum var. flavo-viridae. Application of 1 microgram of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a tumor promoting agent, to the mouse ear resulted in induction of inflammation. Among monascorubrin and related compounds assayed, monascorubrin…

Limonoids and other secondary metabolites of Azadirachta indica (neem) and Azadirachta indica var. siamensis (Siamese neem), and their bioactivities
TLDR
In this review chapter, isolation, characterization, and bioactivities, including melanogenesis-inhibitory activity, cancer chemopreventive property, cytotoxic activity, and antiinflammatory activity, of limonoids and other secondary metabolites of AI and AIS are presented.
Inhibitory effects of falconensins on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced inflammatory ear edema in mice
TLDR
It was demonstrated that azaphilonoid falconensins exert inhibitory effects against TPA-induced inflammation in the ears of mice to a comparable degree as moascorubrin and indomethacin, which are known to have antitumor-promoting and anti-inflammatory effects.
Structure-specific inhibition of cholesteryl ester transfer protein by azaphilones.
TLDR
The relationship between the structures and their inhibitory activity indicated that the presence of an electrophilic ketone and/or enone at both C-6 and C-8 positions in the isochromane-like ring is essential for eliciting CETP inhibitory Activity.

Three new constituents from the fungus of Monascus purpureus and their anti-inflammatory activity
Abstract A chemical study on the EtOAc-soluble fraction of the 95% EtOH extract of red yeast rice fermented with the fungus Monascus purpureus BCRC 38110 (Eurotiaceae) has resulted in the isolation…
Investigations into Chemical Components from Monascus purpureus with Photoprotective and Anti-Melanogenic Activities
TLDR
Six new and two known compounds were isolated from M. purpureus, and two of them exhibited dermal protective activities, revealing the novel potential of M. Purpureus for developing natural cosmeceutics against skin photoaging.

TLDR
It is suggested that compound 1 may be valuable as potential cancer chemopreventive agent in chemical and environmental carcinogenesis.
Pinophilins A and B, inhibitors of mammalian A-, B-, and Y-family DNA polymerases and human cancer cell proliferation.
TLDR
The compounds suppressed cell proliferation and growth in five human cancer cell lines, but had no effect on the viability of normal human cell lines.
New brominated and halogen-less derivatives and structure-activity relationship of azaphilones inhibiting gp120-CD4 binding.
TLDR
Nineteen azaphilone-related compounds isolated from the culture broth of a producing organism of isochromophilones I and II and from other fungi were tested for the inhibition of gp120-CD4 binding and the structure-activity relationship is discussed.
Penicillium verruculosum SG: a source of polyketide and bioactive compounds with varying cytotoxic activities against normal and cancer lines
TLDR
These compounds considerably showed less toxicity toward normal cell lines NIH3T3, HSCT6, HEK293 and MDCK and showed significantly higher cytotoxic activities against normal and cancer cell lines.
