Andrastin A is a meroterpenoid protein farnesyltransferase inhibitor with anticancer activity. It has been shown to inhibit the farnesyltransferase activity of the oncogenic Ras proteins and inhibit the efflux of anticancer drugs from multidrug-resistant cancer cells.
Farnesyltransferase inhibitor with anticancer activity; mycotoxin
Secondary metabolites from fungal endophytes have become an interesting, attractive, and alternative source for novel pharmaceuticals. Several novel compounds with diversified chemical structures have been isolated from endophytic fungi. The genus Penicillium has been exploited worldwide for its biosynthetic potential
