Endocrocin
Endocrocin is an anthraquinone fungal secondary metabolite. Endocrocin inhibits the recruitment and migration of neutrophils, and enhances the pathogenicity and virulence of Fumagillin (HY-B0751) in Drosophila. Endocrocin can be used in research related to invasive aspergillosis, viral infections and liver diseases.
