Product Description: Chaetomellic acid A can be isolated from Chaetomella acutiseta. Chaetomellic acid A is a specific inhibitor of farnesyl-protein transferase. Chaetomellic acid A decreases oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in cells. Chaetomellic acid A reduces renal damage after unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) in mice[1][2].
Formula: C19H34O4
