Bioactivity | Mycalolide-B is a specific inhibitor of actomyosin ATPase isolated from marine sponge. Mycalolide-B inhibits ATP-induced contraction and Mg2+-ATPase activity in the absence of Ca2+[1]. |
Invitro | Mycalolide-B belongs to macrolide antibiotics and consists of tris-oxazole with strong cytotoxic activity (IC50: 10-50 nM for growth of L1210 murine leukemia cells). Mycalolide-B, a toxin isolated from marine sponge, inhibits smooth muscle contractions without changing cytosolic Ca2+ levels. Mycalolide-B also inhibits Ca2+-induced contraction in permeabilized smooth muscles. Mycalolide-B inhibits superprecipitation and Mg2+-ATPase activity stimulated by Ca2+ without changing myosin light chain phosphorylation. Mycalolide-B inhibits ATP-induced contraction and Mg2+-ATPase activity in the absence of Ca2+[1]. |
