Abstract
Under illumination, the fungal secondary metabolites, perylenequinones (PQs) react with molecular oxygen to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which, in excess can damage cellular macromolecules and trigger apoptosis. Based on this property, PQs have been widely used as photosensitizers and applied in pharmaceuticals, which has stimulated research into the discovery of new PQs and the elucidation of their biosynthetic pathways. The PQs-associated literature covering from April 1967 to September 2022 is reviewed in three sections: (1) the sources, structural diversity, and biological activities of microbial PQs; (2) elucidation of PQ biosynthetic pathways, associated genes, and mechanisms of regulation; and (3) advances in pathway engineering and future potential strategies to modify cellular metabolism and improve PQ production.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) were used to elucidate the photochemistry and photophysics of eight different perylenequinones (PQ). The objective of this work has been to quantitatively investigate the photodynamic therapeutic potential of this family of compounds and give an overview of their photoreactivity. The effects of solvation were evaluated through single-point calculations using the integral equation formalism of the polarised continuum model. It is concluded that the eight studied perylenequinones can generate singlet oxygen (in aqueous solution) and superoxide radical anions, and that the autoionisation of two nearby PQ molecules is possible.
