Cyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione
Cyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione is a potent antifungal inhibitor of chitin synthesis. Cyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione is potently antifungal against human pathogenic Candida species (IC50 = 1-2 μM). Cyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione is detected in feijoa cultivars with high antifungal bioactivity. Cyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione can be used for the research of fungal infections.

Biological Activity
Cyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione (14 h) potently inhibits growth of S. cerevisiae and human pathogenic Candida species (C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis) (IC50 = 1.3-2.3 μM)[1].
Cyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione targets chitin synthase genes CHS1 and CHS2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as heterozygous deletion strains are hypersensitive and haploid deletion strains are resistant[1].
Cyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione reduces chitin abundance in the septum of yeast cells[1].
Cyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione exhibits 22-70-fold reduced antibacterial activity (IC50 = 33-105 μM) against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus compared to its antifungal activity[1].
