Plipastatins have been isolated as part of a program designed to find inhibitors of porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2. They were purified from fermentation broth of Bacillus cereus BMG302-fF67 and finally separated into four fractions by reverse phase HPLC. The respective fractions were designated as plipastatins A1, A2, B1 and B2. Plipastatins also inhibited phospholipases C and D.
