for optimal transformation by H-ras and N-ras. We have demonstrated that the natural product cerulenin ([2R,3S]-2,3-epoxy-4-oxo-7,10-trans,trans-dodecadienamide) inhibits the palmitoylation of H-ras- and N-ras-encoded p21s in parallel with inhibition of cell proliferation. More than 30 analogues of cerulenin, both aromatic and aliphatic, with various chain lengths and amide substitutions, have been
The fatty acid synthesis inhibitor cerulenin and the structurally unrelated Golgi transport inhibitor brefeldin A are substrates for both types of efflux pumps in Candida albicans. In an effort to overcome efflux pump‐mediated drug resistance in Candida albicans, ceruleninanalogues were generated using a variety of synthesis pathways. The so obtained cerulenin derivatives were tested on multidrug‐resistant
