Chemical compound
Ergothioneine is a naturally occurring amino acid and is a thiourea derivative of histidine , containing a sulfur atom on the imidazole ring.[1] This compound occurs in relatively few organisms, notably actinomycetota , cyanobacteria , and certain fungi .[2] [3] Ergothioneine was discovered by Charles Tanret in 1909 and named after the ergot fungus from which it was first purified,[4] with its structure being determined in 1911.[5] [6]
In humans, ergothioneine is acquired exclusively through the diet and accumulates in erythrocytes , bone marrow , liver, kidney, seminal fluid , and eyes.[7] Although the effect of ergothioneine in vivo is under preliminary research, its physiological role in humans is unknown.[7] Ergothioneine is sold as a dietary supplement .[8]
Metabolism and sources [ edit ]
Ergothioneine has been found in bacteria, plants, and animals, sometimes at millimolar levels.[9] Foods found to contain ergothioneine include liver , kidney , black beans , kidney bean , and oat bran , with the highest levels in bolete and oyster mushrooms .[9] [10] Levels can be variable, even within species and some tissues can contain much more than others. In the human body, the largest amounts of ergothioneine are found in erythrocytes , eye lens , semen ,[6] and skin .[11]
Although many species contain ergothioneine, only a few make it; the others absorb it from their diet or, in the case of plants, from their environment.[12] Biosynthesis has been detected in Actinomycetota , such as Mycobacterium smegmatis and certain fungi, such as Neurospora crassa .[2]
The metabolic pathway to produce ergothioneine starts with the methylation of histidine to produce histidine betaine (hercynine). The sulfur atom is then incorporated from cysteine.[9] [13] The biosynthetic genes of ergothioneine have been described in Mycobacterium smegmatis ,[14] Neurospora crassa ,[15] and Schizosaccharomyces pombe .[16]
Other species of bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis , Escherichia coli , Proteus vulgaris , and Streptococcus , as well as fungi in the Saccharomycotina cannot make ergothioneine.[17] [18]
Structure [ edit ]
Ergothioneine is a thiourea derivative of the betaine of histidine and contains a sulfur atom bonded to the 2-position of the imidazole ring.[19] Typical of thioureas, ergothioneine is less reactive than typical thiols such as glutathione towards alkylating agents like maleimides . It also resists oxidation by air.[9] However, ergothioneine can be slowly oxidized over several days to the disulfide form in acidic solutions.[20]
Ergothioneine derivatives [ edit ]
Various derivatives of ergothioneine have been reported in the literature, such as S -methyl-ergothioneine[21] or selenium -containing selenoneine .[22]
Preliminary research [ edit ]
Although potential effects of ergothioneine are under preliminary research, its physiological role in vivo has not been determined.[1] [7]
Safe intake levels [ edit ]
The Panel on Dietetic Products for the European Food Safety Authority reported safe daily limits of 2.82 mg/kg of body weight for infants, 3.39 mg/kg for small children, and 1.31 mg/kg for adults, including pregnant and breastfeeding women.[8]
