Triacsin C is a fungal metabolite that acts as a competitive inhibitor of acyl-CoA synthetase, preventing conversion of fatty acids to fatty acyl-CoA. Triacsin C inhibits synthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG), diacylglycerol (DAG), cholesterol esters, and phospholipids. Triacsin C increases NO synthesis and eNOS activity, inducing vasodilatory activity and enhancing relaxation of aortic rings.
