Enniatins are cyclohexadepsipeptides commonly isolated from fungi that are known to have antibiotic properties and to induce apoptosis in several cancer lines. Many function as ionophores, forming pores in cellular membranes to allow selective ion transport. Enniatin A is one of four major analogs in the enniatin complex . It has been shown to moderately inhibit acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltranferase activity in rat liver microsomes with an IC50 value of 22 μM. Enniatin A also demonstrates anthelmintic properties against N. brasiliensis, T. spiralis, and H. spumosa.

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 one of four major analogues of the enniatin complex and has not previously been available for investigation.

Enniatins are a group of cyclohexadepsipeptide mycotoxins produced by Gnomonia errabuda and several Fusaria species, with phytotoxic, antibiotic, and insecticidal activities. Enniatins function as ionophors by their incorporation into the cellular membrane to form dimeric structures that transport monovalent ions across the membrane (especially the mitochondrial membranes) affecting oxidative phosphorylation uncoupling. It has been demonstrated that enniatins have a cytotoxic effect on human cancer cells. Furthermore, incubation of H4IIE hepatoma cells with enniatins strongly diminished phosphorylation of the ERK (p44/p42).
