Latrunculin B
Latrunculin B is a marine-derived alkaloid that potently inhibits actin polymerization. It is widely used in cell biology research to study cytoskeletal dynamics and has demonstrated antifungal and antiprotozoal activity in vitro. Its effects on cardiac electrophysiology, including pulmonary vein modulation, are also investigated in experimental models.
