General description
Cerulenin, an inhibitor of de novo phospholipid synthesis triggers apoptosis in various wild type p53 and mutant p53 tumor cell lines. This fungal antibiotic also blocks the condensing enzyme involved in fatty acid and polyketide biosynthesis.
Application
Cerulenin has been used:
- as a fatty acid synthase inhibitor to study its effects on aldosterone-induced trained immunity
- as a blocker of fatty acid synthase to study its effects on the replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2)
- as a supplement in yeast extract–peptone–dextrose/glycerol (YPD/G) agar plates for the isolation of cerulenin-resistant yeast strains
