Disorazol A

Disorazol A1 is an tubulin inhibitor with antifungal activity. Disorazol A1 functions by inhibiting tubulin polymerization, interfering with microtubule formation, blocking mitosis, thus arresting the cell cycle at the G2/M phase and inducing apoptosis. Disorazol A1 also exhibits an inhibitory effect against L929 mouse fibroblasts with an IC50 value of 3 pM. Disorazol A1 causes the accumulation of p53 protein in the cell nucleus. Disorazol A1 is promising for research of cancers[1].
