- Product Overview:
Enniatins are cyclichexadepsipeptides commonly isolated from fungi. Many act as ionophores, forming pores in cellular membranes to allow selective ion transport.{24952} Enniatin B is a relatively poor ionophore with some capacity to facilitate import of K+ and Na+ across membranes.{24954} It inhibits the pleiotropic drug resistance protein 5 (Pdr5p) in yeast.{24951} Through this mechanism enniatin B, at concentrations as low as 0.8 ?M, augments the ability of cerulenin (Item No. 10005647) or cycloheximide (Item No. 14126) to impair cell proliferation in cells overexpressing Pdr5p, an effect that is not observed in cells lacking Pdr5p.{24951} Like other enniatins, enniatin B inhibits acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (IC50 = 113 ?M), blocking cholesteryl ester formation.{24950} Enniatin B (1 ?M) also increases caspase activity and induces apoptosis in H4IIE hepatoma cells and, when mixed with other enniatins, alters p53 signaling in human cancer cells.{24949,24953}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
