Structural formula: {0} (CAS {1})

Monascin is an organic heterotricyclic compound that is 3a,4,8,9a-tetrahydro-2H-furo[3,2-g][2]benzopyran-2,9(3H)-dione that is substituted at positions 3, 6, and 9a by hexanoyl, (1E)-prop-1-en-1-yl and methyl groups, respectively (the 3S,3aR,9aR diastereoisomer). One of the azaphilonoid pigments in extracts of Monascus pilosus-fermented rice (red-mould rice), it is a potent inhibitor of carcinogenesis measured against chemical- or UV-initiated, phorbol-promoted mouse skin tumours. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, an antilipemic drug, a PPARgamma agonist and a fungal metabolite. It is a polyketide, an organic heterotricyclic compound, a gamma-lactone and an alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone.
