Uses

Tautomycetin induces apoptosis by inactivating Akt through a PP1-independent signaling pathway in human breast cancer cells. Tautomycin is closely related to another anhydride containing polyketide PP inhibitor called Tautomycetin which, in addition to being useful as a lead for cancer drug discovery, also is a very potent immunosuppressor.
