15974439 Kim DH, Jung SJ, Chung IS, Lee YH, Kim DK, Kim SH, Kwon BM, Jeong TS, Park MH, Seoung NS, Baek NI: Ergosterol peroxide from flowers of Erigeron annuus L. as an anti-atherosclerosis agent. Arch Pharm Res. 2005 May;28(5):541-5.

Repeated silica gel and ODS column chromatography of the EtOAc fraction led to the isolation of a sterol, through activity-guided fractionation, using ACAT inhibitory activity measurements.

FO-6979, a soil isolate, by solvent extraction, ODS column chromatography, silica gel column chromatography, and preparative HPLC.
Study on the mechanism of action revealed that beauveriolides inhibited macrophage acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activity to block the synthesis of cholesteryl ester (CE), leading to a reduction of lipid droplets in macrophages.
