Gammapyrones
Gammapyrones are a class of secondary metabolites produced by fungi within the family Psathyrellaceae. The Gammapyrones have been isolated from various species within this family, including the genus Psathyrella, which includes over 200 described species. These compounds have been found to exhibit a wide range of biological activities, including antibiotic, antifungal, and antiviral properties.
The structure of Gammapyrones is typically characterized by a pyrone ring, a group of five-membered ring compounds.
Gammapyrones have been the subject of considerable research, particularly in the fields of chemistry and pharmacology.
Some species of fungi within the Psathyrellaceae family, such as Psathyrella arrhenii, have been found to produce
