Biological Activity

Description

Leptomycin B (LMB, CI 940, Elactocin, Mantuamycin, NSC 364372) is a potent antifungal antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces and acts as a specific inhibitor of the nuclear export factor CRM1. Leptomycin B rapidly induces cytotoxic effects in cancer cell lines via covalent inhibition of CRM1 with IC50 values of 0.1 nM–10 nM.

Targets

CRM1 ^[1]

In vitro

Leptomycin B (LMB) is a potent anti-fungal antibiotic from Streptomyces sp., also can inhibit the expression of COX-2 mRNA and protein induced by serum withdrawal in MDA-MB-231 cells.<a class="sref" href="#s_ref">[1]</a><a class="sref" href="#s_ref">[2]</a>

In vivo

Leptomycin B Reduces Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Expression and Suppresses Cutaneous Inflammation

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:^{^[2]}	Cell lines MDA-MB-231 Cells Concentrations 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 ng/ml Incubation Time 24 h Method MDA-MB-231 cells were grown in culture medium containing 10% FBS without LMB (none or vehicle (v)) or in culture medium containing 0% FBS along with LMB in different concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 ng/ml) for 24 h. Total RNA was isolated and analyzed for the COX-2 mRNA expression by Northern blot analysis, COX-2 protein expression by Western blot analysis.
Animal Study:^{^[2]}	Animal Models Hairless mice Dosages 20 mM, 2 mM, 200 nM, or 20 nM Administration Topical
