L-ergothioneine is an amino acid derivative that is produced by certain fungi and bacteria, and is found in foods such as mushrooms, beans, and oat bran.
The name "L-ergothioneine" comes from the Latin word "ergot", which refers to a type of fungus that is capable of producing this compound, and the chemical structure of the molecule, which contains a thione group (-S-) and an amino acid group (-NH2). The "L" prefix refers to the stereochemistry of the molecule, indicating that it has a specific configuration around its chiral centers. The name was first coined by the French chemist Paul Kutzner in 1909, who discovered the compound in ergot fungi and characterized its chemical properties.
