Cytochalasin D is the most studied of the cytochalasins. Like most of the members of this mycotoxin class, cytochalasin D exhibits potent inhibition of actin filament function leading to cell death by apoptosis. This led to early investigation of the metabolite as an antitumor agent. Cytochalasin D has become one of the standard cellular probes for investigating the role of actin in cell biology.
Cytochalasin D is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO.

TOKU-E植物生物学植物生物学,基因工程,改变植物生长特性。植物生物学是指植物的科学和研究。植物的特性和生长可以通过多种方式进行改变,包括基因工程和各种生长调节剂或激素的使用。可以通过农杆菌介导的转化或其他方法将DNA导入植物, 其中将质粒上的目标基因从农杆菌 细胞中转移 并整合到植物组织中。植物还易受细菌和真菌性植物病原体的侵害,而使用低毒性抗生素 和 抗真菌药可以控制或消除这些病原体 。
