Cryptoic Acids A and B, Benzene-Containing Polyketides, and Cyclocryptamide, a Modified Diketopiperazine, from an Actinomycete of the Genus Cryptosporangium

Novel Benzene-Containing Polyketides and Modified Diketopiperazine from Actinomycete of the Genus Cryptosporangium Academic Background Microbial natural products hold significant value in drug development, particularly actinomycetes, which provide a rich source of various therapeutic compounds, such as aminoglycosides, macrolides, and tetracyclines...

Celludinone C, a New Dihydroisobenzofuran Isolated from Talaromyces cellulolyticus BF-0307

Discovery of Celludinone C and Its SOAT Inhibitory Activity Academic Background Sterol O-Acyltransferase (SOAT) is an enzyme that catalyzes the esterification of cholesterol and plays a critical role in maintaining intracellular lipid homeostasis. SOAT has two isozymes, SOAT1 and SOAT2, which exhibit significant differences in tissue distribution a...
