beauveriolide I

CHEBI:180490 EXACT SEEDED

A cyclodepsipeptide with formula C27H41N3O5. It was originally isolated from the fungus Beauveria sp. FO-6979 during a screening program for inhibitors of lipid droplet accumulation in murine macrophages. It is an inhibitor of acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) and effective at reducing atherogenic lesions of the artery and heart in mouse models.

Filing pathway

Unclassified — computed by NPClassifier npclassifier.gnps2.org@2026-09-07, which is why it is pinned rather than recomputed. The gene cluster's asserted class is pks, nrps, from MIBiG.

Producer organisms 1

A claim that this taxon makes the compound. The basis says what the evidence addressed — a knockout and a database assertion are not the same claim.

Somebody found the compound in this organism and cited it. That is not a claim that the organism makes it, and nothing here promotes one to the other.

A locus claim and a taxon claim are different questions. Heterologous expression settles the first and leaves the second where the isolation report left it.
