Monascuspiloin is a fungal metabolite that has been found inM. pilosusM93-fermented rice.1It induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy in PC3 prostate cancer cells. Monascuspiloin (15-45 μM) decreases viability of PC3 cells and has an additive effect on the reduction in viability of PC3 cells induced by irradiation when used at a concentration of 25 μM. It induces intratumor apoptosis and autophagy and reduces tumor growth in a PC3 mouse xenograft model when administered at doses of 40 and 120 mg/kg.2
