Canthin-6-one is a natural product isolated from various plant genera and from fungi with potential antitumor activity. It induces cell death, cell cycle arrest and differentiation in human myeloid leukemia cells. Canthin-6-one is main compound isolated from Zanthoxylum chiloperone var angustifolium with broad spectrum antifungal, leishmanicidal and trypanocidal activities. Canthin-6-one exhibited trypanocidal activity in vivo in the mouse model of acute
or chronic infection. Canthin-6-one exhibited a broad spectrum of activities against Aspergillus fumigatus, A. niger, A. terreus, Candida albicans, C. tropicalis, C. glabrata, Cryptococcus neoformans, Geotrichum candidum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Trichosporon beigelii, Trichosporon cutaneum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. interdigitale with MICs values between 5.3 and 46 umol/L.
