Cytochalasin B is a mycotoxin binding to the barbed end of actin filaments. It can disrupt the formation of actin polymers (Kd: 1.4-2.2 nM for F-actin).
Pfn1-IN-C1, an inhibitor of Profilin1 (Pfn1), has been shown to reduce the overall level of cellular filamentous (F)-actin, slow EC migration and proliferation, and inhibit the angiogenic ability of EC both in vitro and ex vivo.

Phalloidin-retramethylrhodamine conjugate is an orange fluorescent probe (ex/em = 546/575 nm) that selectively binds to F-actin. It can be used to localize actin filaments in living or fixed cells, as well as for visualizing individual actin filaments in vitro.
Phalloidin-FITC is a green fluorescent cytoskeleton stain. Binds and labels F-actin. For most fluorescent imaging applications, cells should be fixed and permeablilized. Excitation/emission maxima λ ~496/516 nm.
Phalloidin-Janelia Fluor®646 is a red fluorescent F-actin probe. Phalloidin-Janelia Fluor®646 is composed of the F-actin probe, Phalloidin, conjugated to Janelia Fluor®646. It is suitable for use in confocal and super-resolution microscopy techniques such as dSTORM. Excitation/emission maximum λ = 646/664 nm.
DMGF, also known as 7,7-dimethoxyagastisfavone, is a biflavonoid isolated from Taxus × media cv. Hicksii. DMGF induces apoptotic and autophagic cell death. DMGF could effectively attenuate the motility of B16F10 cells, and the results of real-time PCR revealed that DMGF also suppressed the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2). MGF can inhibit the metastasis of highly invasive melanoma cancer cells through the down-regulation of F-actin polymerization DMGF may be further developed to serve as a chemoprevention drug for patients with metastatic melanoma.
