Phenicin
Phenicin (Phoenicine), a microbial metabolite, is an irreversible HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) inhibitor. Phenicin can be isolated from cultures of Penicillium phoeniceum and Penicillium rubrum. Phenicin specifically inhibits the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate catalyzed by HMGCR, effectively inhibiting cholesterol synthesis.
