Enniatin complex is a mixture of cyclohexadepsipeptides, commonly isolated from fungi, that act as ionophores, forming pores in cellular membranes to allow selective ion transport.1,2 The complex typically contains the major components: A (Item No. 17456), A1 (Item No. 17457), B (Item No. 15382), and B1 (Item No. 17245) together with minor amounts of enniatin C, D, E, and F.1 Enniatins exhibit antimicrobial activity against a variety of eukaryotic and prokaryotic genera, inhibit acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltranferase, and induce apoptosis in several cancer lines.1,3,4,5,6
