Description
Destruxin A, a cyclic depsipeptide, is a secondary metabolite isolated from the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae. Each of the mycotoxins, destruxin A, B, and E, were individually found to display antitumor effects on leukemic cells in vitro. In addition, each destruxin was found to produce antiproliferative effects in colon cancer cells and to inhibit the migration and tube formation of human endothelial cells.
