Applications:

Cerulenin was originally proposed as antifungal antibiotic. Cerulenin is used as a biochemical tool. Cerulenin has been shown to cause dramatic weight loss in animals. Cerulenin blocks synthesis of fatty acids and sterols by binding to the enzyme fatty-acid-synthase. In some tumor lines, this triggers apoptosis., an effect believed to be mediated by the accumulation of malonyl-coenzyme A in cells with an upregulated FAS pathway.
