Terpestacin
Terpestacin is found in Phoma exigua var. heteromorpha. Terpestacin binds to UQCRB to inhibit the production of mitochondrial ROS and HIF-1α. Terpestacin inhibits tumor angiogenesis in the FM3A breast cancer cell xenograft mouse model. Terpestacin has antitumor activity and phytotoxicity[1][2].
