설명

일반 설명

Cycloheximide, also known as Actidione, is a glutarimide antibiotic commonly derived from the bacterium Streptomyces griseus. It acts as a potent inhibitor of protein biosynthesis in eukaryotic cells by disrupting the translocation step during translation, effectively blocking translational elongation. In microbiology, it plays a crucial role as a selection agent for resistant strains of yeast and fungi, proving invaluable in controlled experimental environments.

In cell biology and biochemical research, Cycloheximide showcases a dual nature concerning Apoptosis Induction, inducing or inhibiting apoptosis depending on the cell type. Its rapid and reversible effects make it an ideal choice for studying cellular processes and determining protein half-life. Cycloheximide also finds extensive applications in biomedical research, where it inhibits protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells studied in vitro (outside of organisms) and its effects are rapidly reversed by simply removing it. This makes Cycloheximide a go-to choice for exploring cell biology, biomedical and biochemical research, offering precise control and versatility in experiments.

애플리케이션

• In yeast strains, cycloheximide has been used as a protein synthesis inhibitor in the cycloheximide chase experiment.
• It has been used to inhibit translation in mammalian cells.
• It has been used to suppress fungal growth.

생화학적/생리학적 작용

Mode of Action: Translation inhibition in eukaryotes resulting in cell growth arrest and cell death. CHX is widely used for the selection of CHX-resistant strains of yeast and fungi, controlled inhibition of protein synthesis for detection of short-lived proteins and super-induction of protein expression, and apoptosis induction or facilitation of apoptosis induction by death receptors.

Activity Spectrum: Active against yeast and fungi like Candida, Aspergillus, Saccharomyces, Penicillium
