title: Discovery of halogenated eurypamide B analogues as inhibitors of lipid droplet accumulation in macrophages.
abstract: Halogenated cyclic isodityrosine-tripeptides were synthesized as analogues of a marine natural product, eurypamide B. Although the original eurypamides showed no inhibitory activity, the new analogues were found to inhibit lipid droplet accumulation in macrophages with a low micromolar IC50 value.
