MedKoo CAT#: 561880

CAS#: 22144-77-0

Description: Cytochalasin D is a fungal metabolite. It blocks formation of contractile microfilament structures, resulting in multinucleated cell formation, reversible inhibition of cell movement, and the induction of cellular extrusion. It also inhibits actin polymerization, DNA synthesis, sperm motility, glucose transport, thyroid secretion, and growth hormone release.

Product Data:
Biological target: Cytochalasin D (Zygosporin A; NSC 209835) is an inhibitor of actin polymerization derived from fungus, inhibits the G-actin–cofilin interaction by binding to G-actin.
In vitro activity: The osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells induced by Cyto D (cytochalasin D) was assessed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining, western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The results showed that the optimized concentration of action was 10-2µg/ml. The expression of Runx2, OCN and OSX was up-regulated by the supplement of Cyto D. Reference: Curr Mol Med. 2019;20(1):79-88. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31589123/
In vivo activity: Relative to the DMSO-treated control group, significant lung metastatic colonies were observed on the lung surfaces of the mice treated with CytD (cytochalasin D) (Fig. 1A). The average lung weight of the CytD-treated mice was significantly greater than that of the DMSO-treated mice, 1.46±0.15 vs. 0.82±0.18 g (Fig. 1B) (P<0.001). In addition, the number of surface metastatic colonies was also significantly increased in CytD-treated mice relative to controls, 893.47±135.69 vs. 294.63±143.29 (Fig. 1C) (P<0.001).
