Discovery of halogenated eurypamide B analogues as inhibitors of lipid droplet accumulation in macrophages

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Oct 1;15(19):4189-91. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.06.070.

Abstract

Halogenated cyclic isodityrosine-tripeptides were synthesized as analogues of a marine natural product, eurypamide B. Although the original eurypamides showed no inhibitory activity, the new analogues were found to inhibit lipid droplet accumulation in macrophages with a low micromolar IC50 value.
