The Journal of Immunology, 1972 Abstract Cytochalasin B (2 to 4 µg/ml) reversibly inhibits the chemotactic response of human and rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes to a bacterial chemotactic factor or to the complement derived factor, C5a. At lower concentrations (1 to 0.1 µg/ml or less) Cytochalasin B actually stimulates chemotaxis.

Bioactive Phenylalanine Derivatives and Cytochalasins from the Soft Coral-Derived Fungus, Aspergillus elegans [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2013 One new phenylalanine derivative 4′-OMe-asperphenamate (1), along with one known phenylalanine derivative (2) and two new cytochalasins, aspochalasin A1 (3) and cytochalasin Z24 (4), as well as eight known cytochalasin analogues (5–12) were isolated from

Effects of cytochalasin D on relaxation process of skinned taenia cecum and carotid artery from guinea pig [PDF]
Journal of Physiological SciencesActin linked regulatory mechanisms are known to contribute contraction/relaxation in smooth muscle. In order to clarify whether modulation of polymerization/depolymerization of actin filaments affects relaxation process, we examined the effects of ...

Cytochalasins from the Ash Endophytic Fungus Nemania diffusa DSM 116299 [PDF]
MoleculesThe secondary metabolome of Nemania diffusa, isolated as an ash endophytic fungus, was analyzed in detail. From its cultures, a previously undescribed cytochalasin 1 was isolated using preparative HPLC, together with six known congeners: 18-dehydroxy ...

Reversibility of cell surface label rearrangement [PDF]
, 1976 Cell surface labeling can cause rearrangements of randomly distributed membrane components. Removal of the label bound to the cell surface allows the membrane components to return to their original random distribution, demonstrating that label is ...
