Hypocrellin and cercosporin are perylenequinones, compounds with unique structural and biological properties that are all characterized by a pentacyclic core containing an extended quinone system (Chart 7.1) [1]. A large number of perylenequinone natural products, typically brightly colored pigments, have been isolated from molds, aphids, and plant species. These natural products have been categorized into three different classes.
