Pyripyropropene A is a naturally occurring compound that can be found in Aspergillus fumigatus FO-1289. It functions as a potent and selective inhibitor of acyl-coenzyme A: cholesterol acetyltransferase 2 (ACAT2). Pyripyropene A has been studied for its potential applications in agriculture and environmental management, particularly in controlling pests and insects that are harmful to crops. Its ability to interfere with specific biochemical pathways in insects suggests that it could be used as a lead compound for developing new types of insecticides that are more targeted and environmentally friendly than some currently available options.
