Cerulenin (17397-89-6) is a fatty acid synthase (FAS) inhibitor. Binds to β-keto-acyl-ACP synthase (KAS; IC50=1.5 μM), thus inhibiting protein acylation at concentrations of 45-134 μM.1 Cerulenin produces metabolic effects similar to the effects of leptin, but through mechanisms that are independent of, or down-stream of, both leptin and melanocortin receptors.2 Reduces nutrient-induced insulin release from normal rat islets.3 Induces apoptosis in human melanoma A-375 cells.4
