New indanones, designated celludinones A ((±)-1) and B (2), were isolated from the culture broth of the fungal strain Talaromyces cellulolyticus BF-0307. The structures of celludinones were elucidated by spectroscopic data, including 1D and 2D NMR.

7-Chlorofolipastatin, an inhibitor of sterol O-acyltransferase, produced by marine-derived Aspergillus ungui NKH-007 [PDF]
A new depsidone, named 7-chlorofolipastatin, and five known structurally related depsidones were isolated from the culture broth of the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus ungui NKM-007 by solvent extraction and HPLC using an octadecylsilyl column. The structure of 7-chlorofolipastatin was elucidated by various spectroscopic data including 1D and 2D NMR ...

Clonoamide, a new inhibitor of sterol O-acyltransferase, produced by Clonostachys sp. BF-0131 [PDF]
A new compound designated as clonoamide was isolated from a culture broth of the fungus Clonostachys sp. BF-0131 by solvent extraction, Diaion HP20 column chromatography, octadecylsilyl column chromatography and preparative HPLC as an inhibitor of sterol O-acyltransferase (SOAT). The structure of clonoamide was elucidated as 2-oxo-9E,11E-tridecandienyl

Cholesterol esterification and p53-mediated tumor suppression
Many human cancers carry missense mutations in or deletions of the tumor protein 53 (TP53) tumor suppressor gene. TP53’s product, p53 regulates many biological processes, including cell metabolism. Cholesterol is a key lipid needed for the maintenance of

Peroral administration of beauverolides allows their transport into the peripheral blood and urine
Beauverolides are hydrophobic cyclodepsipeptides that inhibit sterol O-acyltransferases and calmodulin, thereby reducing senile plaques in Alzheimer’s disease and preventing foam cell formation in atherosclerosis.
