Acylfulvene refers to a class of cytotoxic, semi-synthetic compounds derived from illudin, a natural substance found in the jack o’lantern mushroom (Omphalotus olearius). These molecules were developed to improve upon the potent but highly toxic natural illudins, with the goal of creating more effective and safer anticancer agents. The directory classifies it as a discontinued API with a semi-synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include (-)-acylfulvene and Illudofulvene. Its PubChem CID is 365701.
