Cytochalasin D is an actin inhibitor, the removal of actin stress fibers is crucial for the chondrogenic differentiation. It may be an inhibitor of some fertilization processes such as sperm penetration or sperm head decondensation. Cytochalasin D inhibit
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).
Dihydrocytochalasin B (H2CB) 是一种细胞分裂抑制剂,抑制胞质分裂并改变细胞的形态,破坏 Swiss 3T3 小鼠成纤维细胞的肌动蛋白结构,抑制血清生长因子在静止培养物中刺激 DNA 合成的能力,瓦解肌动蛋白细胞结构并抑制 3T3 细胞中 DNA 合成的启动。低剂量的 H2CB 会导致细胞变圆和肌动蛋白微丝束的丢失。
Latrunculin A is a toxin isolated from the red sea sponge Latrunculia magnifica. Latrunculin A binds to actin monomers and it also inhibits polymerization of actin (Kds: 0.1, 0.4, 4.7 μM, and 0.19 μM for ATP-actin, ADP-Pi-actin, ADP-actin, and G-actin, re
Inhibits neural Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (N-WASP) by stabilizing the autoinhibited state of the protein. Blocks phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2)-stimulated actin assembly (IC50 ~ 2 μM) but does not directly inhibit actin polymerization
19-O-Acetylchaetoglobosin A is a fungal metabolite originally isolated fromC. globosumthat has actin polymerization inhibitory and cytotoxic activities.1,2It inhibits actin polymerization in a cell-free assay when used at a concentration of 2 μM.219-O-Acetylchaetoglobosin A (3.2, 10, and 32 μg ml) is cytotoxic to HeLa cervical cancer cells.1 1.Umeda, M., Ohtsubo, K., Saito, M., et al.Cytotoxicity of new cytochalasans from Chaetomium globosumExperientia31(4)435-438(1975) 2.Sekita, S., Yoshihira, K., Natori, S., et al.Structure-activity relationship of thirty-nine cytochalasans observed in the effects on cellular structures and cellular events and on actin polymerization in vitroJ.

Phalloidin-TRITC is a TRITC labeled, red fluorescence probe for F-actin . Phalloidin, bound to actin filaments, reacts covalently with amino acids Glu-llT, Met-ll9, and Met355, which are very close to the nucleotide binding site.
