title: A depsipeptide fungal metabolite inhibitor of cholesteryl ester transfer protein.
abstract: The organic extract of the fermentation broth of a fungus was found to contain a depsipeptide SCH 58149 (1), containing three amino acids and a beta-hydroxy acid, by spectroscopic studies. The amino acids were phenyl alanine, alanine and leucine and the beta-hydroxy acid is 3-hydroxy-4-methyl octanoic acid. SCH 58149 exhibited weak activity against cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) with an IC50 of 50 microM.
