Cytoplasmic microtubule inhibitor. Cell permeable, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antimitotic and cytotoxic compound. Induces a complete and reversible breakdown/disruption of Golgi membranes into smaller vesicular structures. Blocks the association of the ADP-ribosylation factor and beta-COP to the Golgi membrane. Blocks protein transport to the plasma membrane and inhibits gap junctional communication. HIV-1 inhibitor. Blocks the cytotoxicity of ricin and diphtheria toxin. S-Adenosylhomocysteinase hydrolase inhibitor and cellular methylations inhibitor. DNA polymerase beta lyase activity inhibitor. Anti-cancer compound.. Storage and Stability: Short-term Storage: +4 degrees C Long-term Storage: -20 degrees C Stable for at least 2 years after receipt when stored at -20 degrees C.
