Description

Application

Cytochalasin D are isomeric metabolites of Metarrhizium anisopliae. Cytochalasin D possesses antibiotic and antitumor activity. It also impairs maintenance of long term potentiation (LTP) of actin filaments. It is implicated in promoting conditions favorable for depolymerizing actin.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell permeable fungal toxin; potent inhibitor of actin polymerization. Disrupts actin microfilaments and activates the p53-dependent pathways causing arrest of the cell cycle at the G1-S transition. Inhibits smooth muscle contraction. Inhibits insulin-stimulated, but not basal, transport of glucose.

Potent inhibitor of actin polymerization; disrupts actin microfilaments; activates the p53-dependent pathways; inhibits smooth muscle contraction; inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose transport.

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
