QUICK LINKS

Dihydrocytochalasin B, also known as Cytochalasin H2B, a mycotoxin from Aspergillus flavus, has been a key tool in cell biology for over 40 years due to its potent inhibition of actin polymerization, disrupting cellular functions. Used primarily to explore the effects of actin filament disruption on cell behavior, it provides insights into toxin impacts on cell biochemistry and physiology. By binding to actin monomers, Dihydrocytochalasin B impedes filament formation, offering a window into gene expression and cell signaling pathways, and can lead to cell death when normal actin dynamics are compromised.
