Notes: The cytochalasins are cell-permeable fungal metabolites that inhibit actin polymerization.{21305,21310,21312,21316} This interferes with such diverse processes as cell movement, growth, phagocytosis, degranulation, and secretion.{21307,21313,21306,21315} Cytochalasin D is a cell-permeable inhibitor that binds actin filaments, but not actin monomers, to inhibit polymerization at concentrations as low as 0.2 µM.{21310} In this way, it prevents the migration of tumor cells.{15841}
