General description
Wortmannin, a fungal metabolite, is a cell-permeable, irreversible inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3 Kinase) with an IC50 of 5nM. It blocks the catalytic activity of PI3-Kinase without affecting upstream signaling events such as insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity. Wortmannin also inhibits the activities of myosin light chain kinase and PI4-Kinase at concentrations a hundred times higher than those required to inhibit PI3-Kinase.

Wortmannin and its structural analogue demethoxyviridin (DMV) have been reported to be specific inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity. Here we report that these compounds are not as selective as assumed and demonstrate inhibition of bombesin-stimulated phospholipase A2 activity by both
