Bassianolide is a cyclic depsipeptide, a natural compound produced by the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana. It is known for its insecticidal properties, making it a key factor in the fungus’s ability to infect and kill insects. Bassianolide disrupts the cellular membranes of insects, leading to their death, and is used in biological control strategies for managing pest populations in agriculture. Due to its selective toxicity, it is considered an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides. Additionally, bassianolide has been studied for its potential antimicrobial and anticancer activities, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research.
