General description

An immunosuppressive mycotoxin secondary metabolite produced by several pathogenic fungi. Reported to increase ryanodine Ca²⁺ channel activity possibly by oxidizing cysteine residues located on the ryanodine receptor. Immunosuppressive effect is caused by the blocking of membrane thiol groups. Causes apoptosis in a variety of cell types, including macrophages and thymocytes. Inactivates alcohol dehydrogenase by either covalent modification of thiol groups or free radical damage. Protein farnesyltransferase (PFT) inhibitor (IC50 = 1.1 µM). Also inhibits Ras protein in a noncompetitive manner.

An immunosuppressive secondary metabolite produced by several pathogenic fungi. Immunosuppressive effects are caused by blocking of membrane thiol groups. Causes apoptotic cell death in a variety of cell types including macrophages and thymocytes. Farnesyltransferase (FTase) inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 1.1 µM). Reported to increase ryanodine Ca²⁺ channel activity possibly by oxidizing cysteine residues located on the ryanodine receptor. Specifically inhibits NF-κB activation in B and T cells at nanomolar concentrations.
