CAS 27958-06-1: deacetylanisomycin from streptomyces*griseolus

Deacetylanisomycin is a potent growth regulator in plants Anisomycin and protein synthesis inhibitor. It is an inactive derivative of Anisomycin.

Deacetylanisomycin is a bacterial metabolite, which is derived from the soil bacterium Streptomyces griseolus. It acts as an inhibitor of protein synthesis by binding to the 60S ribosomal subunit, thus interfering with peptide bond formation during translation. This mode of action is key to its effectiveness in studying the mechanisms of protein synthesis interruption. Deacetylanisomycin finds extensive applications in molecular and cellular biology as a tool for studying eukaryotic protein synthesis. Its ability to selectively inhibit ribosomal activity makes it invaluable in research focused on translation regulation, cellular stress responses, and signal transduction pathways. Furthermore, it is often utilized in experimental research to analyze the effects of protein synthesis inhibition on cellular processes, such as apoptosis and cell cycle regulation. The compound's utility in experimental setups provides insights into translation dynamics and has furthered the understanding of cellular responses to stress, making it a critical component in the toolkit of molecular biologists aiming to unravel complex biochemical pathways.
