title: Acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitors from the fungus Gongronella butleri.
abstract: Four active metabolites that specifically inhibit acetyl CoA carboxylase, the late-limiting enzyme in fatty acid biosynthesis, have been isolated from a strain of Gongronella butleri mating type (+). Their chemical structures were determined to be octyl pentanedioic acid, 9-decenyl-1-pentenedioic acid, decanyl-1-pentenedioic acid, decanyl-2-pentenedioic acid, respectively. These compounds inhibited rat liver acetyl CoA carboxylase 50% at a concentration of 30 approximately 55 micrograms/ml.
