General description

DMSO stock solution can be diluted in phosphate buffered saline. The ratio of buffer:DMSO should be greater than 500:1.
Herbimycin A from Streptomyces hygroscopicus is a benzoquinoid ansamycin antibiotic. It is an analog of geldanamycin.

Application

Herbimycin A from Streptomyces hygroscopicus has been used as an inhibitor of Src tyrosine kinase in HEK293T cells and rat intestinal epithelial cells. It has also been used to test its attenuation effect in intimal hyperplasia (IH) post balloon injury in rat carotid artery.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Herbimycin A is an inducer of heat shock protein (HSP). It increases HSP expression resulting in the attenuation of ischemia reperfusion induced pulmonary injury.
An antibiotic that inhibits protein tyrosine kinase. Herbimycin A is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis.

Caution

Six herbimycin A (HBM) derivatives were examined for their anti-angiogenic effects in a bioassay system involving chorioallantoic membranes (CAMs) of growing chick embryos on the basis of our previous observation that HBM is a potent angiogenesis inhibitor. 17-Cyclopropylamino-HBM dose-dependently inhibited

intimal hyperplasia (IH) is a major cause of re-stenosis post-vascular intervention. Induction of heat shock proteins (HSPs), by thermal pre-conditioning, reduces IH. Our aim was to investigate the effect of the pharmacological HSP inducer herbimycin A on IH in the

Human amnion cells in primary culture respond to glucocorticoids in a characteristic fashion by the increased expression of the inducible prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthase isoenzyme, PGHS-2. Since PGHS-2 induction by agonists generally involves tyrosine kinases, we examined the possibility that
