Camalexin is a natural product and a phytoalexin produced by plants, primarily in response to biotic stress like pathogen attack. It is a sulfur-containing compound derived from tryptophan and is particularly abundant in Arabidopsis thaliana. Camalexin exhibits antimicrobial properties, contributing to the plant’s defense mechanisms. Due to its ability to inhibit the growth of a variety of pathogens, camalexin has attracted interest in the development of plant-based antimicrobial agents for agricultural and pharmaceutical applications.
