一种抗真菌抗生素，可抑制固醇和脂肪酸的生物合成。在脂肪酸合成中，据报道以等摩尔比结合 β-酮-酰基-ACP 合酶。在固醇合成中，抑制 HMG-CoA 合成酶活性。研究表明，还抑抑制小鼠进食并导致体重急剧下降。 一种抗真菌抗生素，它以等摩尔比结合 β-酮基-ACP 合酶，从而抑制脂肪酸的生物合成。还通过阻断 HMG-CoA 合成酶活性来抑制固醇合成。该化合物的全身性和脑室性活动会减少进食并导致体重减轻。 Cerulenin has broad application in lipid biochemistry as an inhibitor fatty acid and sterol biosynthesis. Cerulenin binds to β-keto-acyl-ACP .synthase blocking the interaction of malonyl CoA. Cerulenin also an inhibits bacterial fatty acid synthesis, acting on the FabH, FabB and FabF condensation enzymes. Cerulenin stimulates fatty acid oxidation and inhibits HMG-CoA synthetase activity. An inhibitor fatty acid and sterol biosynthesis
