Dehydrocurvularin is a potent antineoplastic agent irreversibly blocking ATP-citrate lyase: evidence from chemoproteomics

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Apr 4;55(29):4194-4197. doi: 10.1039/c9cc00256a.

Abstract

Natural-product macrolide 10,11-dehydrocurvularin (DCV) was revealed to be a potent irreversible inhibitor of ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) via classical chemoproteomic profiling, which mechanistically illuminates the anti-cancer mode of action of DCV and its analogues.
