    Enniatin A

    $175.00 - $609.00
    Enniatins are a family of depsipeptide ionophores, produced by several Fusarium species. Recently, the effects of the enniatins on acyl-CoA cholesterol transferase, transporters and the selectivity of their antitumor action have received more focus. Enniatin A is one of four major analogues of the enniatin complex.

    Enniatin A is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF or DMSO. Poor water solubility. 
    Molecular FormulaC36H63N3O9
