Depudecin
Depudecin is a polyketide obtained from the fungus Alternaria brassicicola and having a highly unusual structure of an 11-carbon chain containing two epoxides and six stereogenic centres. It is an inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC) both in vivo and in vitro and also exhibits anti-angiogenic activity. It has a role as an EC 3.5.1.98 (histone deacetylase) inhibitor and a fungal metabolite. (-)-Depudecin is a natural product found in Alternaria brassicicola and Xylaria with data available. Depudecin is depudecin is a fungal metabolite that reverts the rounded phenotype of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts transformed with v-ras and v-src oncogenes to the flattened phenotype of the non-transformed parental cells. The mechanism of de-transformation induced by this agent had not been determined. However, depudecin has been demonstrated to inhibit histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity effectively both in vivo and in vitro.
