毒理性
细胞松弛素已知会结合到微丝的尖端,快速生长的正端,这会阻止单个肌动蛋白单体从结合端组装和分解。一旦结合,细胞松弛素基本上会封住新的肌动蛋白丝的末端。一个细胞松弛素会结合到一个肌动蛋白丝上。通过阻止肌动蛋白的聚合和延伸,细胞松弛素可以改变细胞形态,抑制细胞分裂等细胞过程,并导致细胞凋亡。(A2910, A2911, L1913)
Cytochalasins are known to bind to the barbed, fast growing plus ends of microfilaments, which then blocks both the assembly and disassembly of individual actin monomers from the bound end. Once bound, cytochalasin essentially caps the end of the new actin filament. One cytochalasin will bind to one actin filament. By blocking the polymerization and elongation of actin, cytochalasins can change cellular morphology, inhibit cellular processes such as cell division, and cause cells to undergo apoptosis.
