The Uses of WORTMANNIN
Wortmannin is a steroidal metabolite belonging to the viridin group, isolated from Penicillium wortmannii in 1957. The structure was finally solved in 1968. Wortmannin exhibits broad spectrum antifungal activity, together with antitumour and antiinflammatory activity. Wortmannin is a potent inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase and myosin light chain kinase. Wortmannin also activates neutrophil and formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-mediated phospholipase D, inhibits autophagy, potentiates LPS-induced NO production and induces Alzheimer-like hyperphosphorylation in tau in vivo.
The Uses of WORTMANNIN
Wortmannin is used as inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, used cell biology reagent that has been used previously in research to inhibit DNA repair, receptor-mediated endocytosis and cell proliferation. It inhibits fMLP induced PIP3 and superoxide anion production in guinea pig neutrophils. It blocks insulin metabolic effects in rat adipocytes without affecting the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity.
The Uses of WORTMANNIN
Wortmannin, Ready Made Solution has been used:
- as a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway inhibitor
- as an endoderm-inducing agent in stem cell selection and differentiation
- as a autophagy inhibitor
What are the applications of Application
Wortmannin is an antibiotic and fungal metabolite, able to selectively inhibit phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase.
Definition
ChEBI: Wortmannin is an organic heteropentacyclic compound, a delta-lactone, an acetate ester and a cyclic ketone. It has a role as an EC 2.7.1.137 (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) inhibitor, an anticoronaviral agent, a geroprotector, an autophagy inhibitor, a Penicillium metabolite, a radiosensitizing agent and an antineoplastic agent.
Biological Activity
Potent, selective, cell-permeable and irreversible inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) (IC 50 = 2-4 nM). Also potently inhibits polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) (IC 50 = 5.8 nM).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Wortmannin is a low molecular weight; hydrophobic fungal metabolite with a sterol-like structure produced by Penicilium fumiculosum. Inhibition of PI3K/Akt signal transduction cascade by wortmannin, enhances the apoptotic effects of radiation or serum withdrawal and blocks the antiapoptotic effect of cytokines. PI3K inhibition by wortmannin also blocks many of the short-term metabolic effects induced by insulin receptor activation. Research has demonstrated that wortmannin inhibits two enzymes from mitotical division, key regulators Polo-like kinase (Plk) family, Plk1 and Plk3.
