Product Information

• Name: Macrosphelide A
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Macrosphelide A is a bioactive macrocyclic lactone, which is a secondary metabolite derived from the culture of certain fungal species. It functions primarily through the disruption of cell adhesion processes, which is facilitated by its ability to interfere with the function of specific cell surface receptors. This mode of action underlies its potential as an immunosuppressive agent, where it can inhibit the activities of immune cells by altering cellular communication and adhesion.
