Notes: The cytochalasins are cell-permeable fungal metabolites that inhibit actin polymerization.{21305,21310,21312,21316} This interferes with such diverse processes as cell movement, growth, phagocytosis, degranulation, and secretion.{21307,21313,21306,21315} Cytochalasin H is a potent inhibitor of actin incorporation into filaments.{25080,29763} Like cytochalasin D (Item No. 11330), it also increases the steady-state diffusion coefficients of filaments, suggesting that it stimulates filament shortening.{25080} Cytochalasin H suppresses the production of reactive oxygen species by stimulated human neutrophils, blocks endocytosis of CD59 in lymphocytes, and shows anti-angiogenic activity both in vitro and in vivo.{29673,29761,29762}
