The Penicillium brasilianum Histone Deacetylase Clr3 Regulates Secondary Metabolite Production and Tolerance to Oxidative Stress [PDF]
Most of the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) found in microbes are silent under standard laboratory cultivation conditions due to the lack of expression triggering stimuli, representing a considerable drawback in drug discovery.

A new anthelmintic cyclodepsipeptide, PF1022A.
The novel anthelmintic cyclodepsipeptide PF1022A was isolated from cultured mycelia of Mycelia Sterilia PF1022 (FERM BP-2671). It showed strong anthelmintic activities against Ascaridia galli in chickens. The structure of PF1022A was determined to be cyclo(D-lactyl-L-N-methylleucyl-D-3-phenyllactyl-L-N-meth ylleucyl-D-lactyl-L-N- methylleucyl-D-3 ...

The Inhibitory Effects of Cyclodepsipeptides from the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana on Myofibroblast Differentiation in A549 Alveolar Epithelial Cells [PDF]
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic and fatal lung disease with few treatment options. Although the pathogenesis of PF is not clear, a chronic inflammatory response to continuous damage is considered the cause of pulmonary fibrosis.
