Dideoxyverticillin A (1111’-dideoxyverticillin A) is a complex epipolythiodioxo-piperazine isolated from a marine fungus (Bionectriaceae). Dideoxyverticillin A’s reported anticancer mechanism is that it acts as a farnesyl transferase inhibitor. Dozens of semi-synthetic anticancer compounds have been made from Dideoxyverticillin A. Dimeric derivatives are reported to have better anticancer activity.
