Application Notes

Andrastin A is potent inhibitor of protein farnesyltransferase (PFTase) isolated by Omura and co-workers at the Kitasato Institute, Japan in 1996. Andrastin A is a meroterpenoid with an androstane skeleton biosynthesized from a sesquiterpene and a tetraketide. The cyclopentane ring of andrastin A exhibits characteristic keto-enol tautomerism. Andrastin A is potently active against mammalian tumor cell lines and is devoid of antimicrobial activity.
