  • Scientific Description
    Cell permeable marine toxin [1]. Disrupts microfilament-mediated processes [2]. Actin polymerization inhibitor in vitro and in vivo by the formation of a 1:1 complex with monomeric G-actin [1, 2, 3, 6]. Depolymerizes actin filaments (F-actin) [3]. Potent phagocytosis inhibitor [4]. Anticancer compound [7, 8]. Suppresses hypoxia-induced HIF-1 activation in tumor cells [7]. Inhibits tumor cell invasion [7]. Acts via a different mechanism than cytochalasins. - Chemical. CAS: 76343-93-6. Formula: C22H31NO5S. MW: 421.6. Isolated from Latrunculia magnifica. Cell permeable marine toxin.
