:CYTOCHALASINM
Description:
Cytochalasins are a group of fungal metabolites known for their ability to inhibit cell division and affect cytoskeletal dynamics. The specific compound referred to as Cytochalasin M, with the CAS number 79648-73-0, is derived from the fungus *Helminthosporium* and is characterized by its ability to disrupt actin polymerization. This disruption leads to various cellular effects, including inhibition of cell motility, changes in cell shape, and interference with processes such as endocytosis and cytokinesis. Cytochalasin M is often utilized in research to study the role of the cytoskeleton in cellular functions and to explore mechanisms of cell signaling and migration. It is typically used in laboratory settings at specific concentrations to minimize cytotoxic effects while allowing for the observation of its impact on cellular processes. As with many bioactive compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling Cytochalasin M, as it can have significant effects on living cells.
