Cytochalasin B
Cytochalasin B is a fungal metabolite that potently inhibits actin polymerization by capping the barbed ends of filaments (Kd ~1.4-2.2 nM) . It is widely used in cell biology research to study cytoskeletal dynamics, cell motility, and processes like cytokinesis in both in vitro and cellular assays.
