title: Structure-based hybridization of the bioactive natural products rhizonin A and ternatin leading to a selective fat-accumulation inhibitor against 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
abstract: Based on the structural similarity between the naturally occurring cyclic heptapeptides rhizonin A and ternatin, two novel analogues were designed. The synthetic analogues were assessed with regard to their fat-accumulation inhibitory effect against 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and this led to the discovery of a potent and selective fat-accumulation inhibitor compared to the parent compound rhizonin A.
