Cerulenin (source Cephalosporium caerulens) has broad application in lipid biochemistry as an inhibitor of fatty acid and sterol biosynthesis. Cerulenin (source Cephalosporium caerulens) binds to beta-keto-acyl-ACP synthase, blocking the interaction of malonyl CoA. It also inhibits bacterial fatty acid synthesis, acting on the FabH, FabB and FabF condensation enzymes. Furthermore, Cerulenin (source Cephalosporium caerulens) stimulates fatty acid oxidation and inhibits HMG-CoA synthetase activity.
