Cytochalasin A is a fungal metabolite that inhibits HIV-1 protease and disrupts cytoskeletal dynamics by preventing actin polymerization and interfering with microtubule assembly. This cell-permeable compound is used in research to study viral replication, cell motility, and division in both cellular and biochemical assays.
