Adipostatin A is an alkylresorcinol, a type of phenolic lipids composed of long aliphatic chains and phenolic rings. Chemically, it is similar in structure to urushiol, the irritant found in poison ivy.
Adipostatin A can be found in Gingko biloba fruits as well as in Streptomyces cyaneus.[1] It is also found in cashew nutshell liquid (Anacardium occidentale), in Anacardium othonianum and in Ardisia elliptica.[2]
It is an inhibitor of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.[3]
