Application

Cytochalasin E has been used as:
  • a toxin to study its effects on avocado plants
  • a component of the incubating medium in feline junctional adhesion molecule 1 (fJAM-1) expression assay
  • an inhibitor of actin polymerization to study its effects on mitochondria uptake by mice endothelial cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cytochalasin E is a cell-permeable fungal toxin that inhibits actin polymerization stimulated by F-actin. Cytochalasin E does not inhibit glucose transport.
Cytochalasin E is an epoxide that exhibits anti-proliferative activity in endothelial cells in vitro. It also participates in inhibiting tumor growth and angiogenesis in vivo. Cytochalasin E also possesses antimicrobial and antiviral properties.
