Leptomycin B
Chemical Name: (2E,5S,6R,7S,9R,10E,12E,15R,16Z,18E)-19-[(2S,3S)-3,6-Dihydro-3-methyl-6-oxo-2H-pyran-2-yl]-17-ethyl-6-hydroxy-3,5,7,9,11,15-hexamethyl-8-oxo-2,10,12,16,18-nonadecapentaenoic acid
Biological Activity
Leptomycin B is an antifungal antibiotic that is an inhibitor of the nuclear export of proteins; acts by binding directly to and inhibiting CRM1/exportin-1. Inhibits the nuclear export of the HIV regulatory protein Rev and stabilizes p53. Antitumor in vitro and in vivo.Technical Data
