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 J is a deacetylated analog of cytochalasin H that weakly inhibits actin assembly but significantly alters mitotic spindle microtubule organization and kinetochore structure.{25080,29674} Like cytochalasin H, cytochalasin J suppresses the production of reactive oxygen species by stimulated human neutrophils.{29673}
