Anti-inflammatory marine cyclic peptide stylissatin A and its derivatives inhibit differentiation of murine preadipocytes†
Abstract
Stylissatin A, an anti-inflammatory cyclic heptapeptide, and its derivatives potently inhibited the differentiation of preadipocytes and reduced triglyceride accumulation in mature adipocytes, with little cytotoxicity. Our studies might contribute to the development of leads for new anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity agents.
