DETAILS

Description (English)

• Drug Groups: experimental
• Description: Latrunculin A is an actin binding macrolide purified from the red sea sponge Latrunculia magnifica. It is under investigation for the treatment of cancer. It disrupts actin polymerization, prevents mitotic spindle formation and thus cell replication.
