enniatin c

Enniatin C is a membrane-active antibiotic with antimalarial activity that inhibits Mycobacterium tuberculosis, used in the study of fungal infections.

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.

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.
