Bioactivity | Swinholide A is the actin-binding marine polyketide and dimerizes actin with the Kd of ~ 50 nM[1]. Swinholide A is a microfilament disrupting marine toxin that stabilizes actin dimers and severs actin filaments. Swinholide A disrupts the actin cytoskeleton of cells.Antifungal activity[2]. |
Invitro | Swinholide A, first isolated from the Okinawan marine sponge Theonella swinhoei, dimerizes actin[1].Swinholide A, isolated from the marien sponge Theonella swinhoei, is highly cytotoxic to a variety of cancer cell lines[2].Swinholide A disrupts the actin cytoskeleton of cells grown in culture, sequesters actin dimers in vitro in both polymerizing and non-polymerizing buffers with a binding stoichiometry of one swinholide A molecule per actin dimer, and rapidly severs F-actin in vitro with high cooperativity[2].
