enniatin a

Enniatin A, a Fusarium mycotoxin, inhibits acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) with an IC50 of 22 μM in rat liver microsome enzyme assays.

Enniatin complex, a mixture of cyclohexadepsipeptides predominantly derived from various Fusarium species of fungi, exhibits inhibitory effects on enzymes such as acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyl transferase. Furthermore, it has demonstrated the ability to induce apoptosis in multiple cancer cell lines. In addition to these activities, the Enniatin complex possesses ionophoric, antibiotic, and in vitro hypolipidemic properties.

Enniatin B1, a Fusarium mycotoxin, crosses the blood-brain barrier, decreases the activation of ERK (p44 p42), and inhibits moderately TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation. Furthermore, it inhibits acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activity, exhibiting an IC50 of 73 μM in rat liver microsome enzyme assays.

Enniatins B decreases the activation of ERK (p44 p42). Enniatin B is a Fusarium mycotoxin. Enniatin B inhibits acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activity with an IC50 of 113 μM in an enzyme assay using rat liver microsomes.

Enniatin A1, a cyclic hexadepsipeptide composed of alternating D-α-hydroxyisovaleric acids and N-methyl-L-amino acids isolated from Fusarium mycotoxins, exhibits anticarcinogenic effects through the induction of apoptosis and disruption of the ERK signaling pathway. It also inhibits ACAT in rat liver microsomes with an IC50 of 49 μM.

Aurofusarin is a secondary metabolite produced by Fusarium graminearum, a prominent fungal pathogen in temperate climate regions that affects major crops. In addition to aurofusarin, Fusarium graminearum synthesizes several other compounds, including monomethylsorbitol, zearalenone C, antibiotic Y, 2-amino-14,16-dimethyloctadecan-3-ol (2-AOD-3-ol), gibberellin, and enniatin.
