    • The natural product colletoic acid (CA) is a selective inhibitor of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), which primarily converts cortisone to the active glucocorticoid (GC) cortisol. Here, CA’s mode of action and its potential as a chemical tool to study intracellular GC signaling in adipogenesis are disclosed. 11β-HSD1 biochemical studies of CA indicated that its functional groups at C-1, C-4, and C-9 were important for enzymatic activity; an X-ray crystal structure of 11β-HSD1… CONTINUE READING
