Latrunculin A
- 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.
