Structure Elucidation of Fungal Beauveriolide III, a Novel Inhibitor of Lipid Droplet Formation in Mouse Macrophages.

Abstract

The structure of fungal beauveriolide III, an inhibitor of lipid droplet formation in mouse macrophages, was elucidated to be cyclo-[(3S,4S)-3-hydroxy-4-methyloctanoyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-alanyl- D-allo-isoleucyl] by spectral analyses and chemical degradation.
