BAFILOMYCIN B1

Описание

Bafilomycin B₁ is a fungal metabolite that has been found in Streptomyces and has diverse biological activities. It inhibits the activity of rat liver lysosomal vacuolar H⁺-ATPase (V-ATPase) in a concentration-dependent manner. Bafilomycin B₁ (10-1,000 nM) induces autophagosome accumulation in MCF-7 cells. It inhibits chloroquine-induced apoptosis in primary cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) when used at a concentration of 1 nM. Bafilomycin B₁ reduces viral genome copy numbers in the culture supernatant of Vero E6 cells infected with H1N1 influenza A.
