Frequently Asked Questions

2Leptomycin A (CAS 87081-36-5) Suppliers and Product Information

Q: What is the primary use of Leptomycin A?

A: Leptomycin A is primarily used as an antifungal antibiotic and as a research tool to study nuclear export processes. It inhibits CRM1 (exportin 1), which is involved in the nuclear export of proteins.

Q: How does Leptomycin A compare to Leptomycin B?

A: Leptomycin A is a methyl ***ogue of Leptomycin B and is a minor component of the leptomycin complex. While both inhibit nuclear transport, Leptomycin A is less potent than Leptomycin B in inhibiting Rev translocation, with IC50 values of 0.8 and 0.1 nM respectively after 7 hours.

Q: What is the source of Leptomycin A?

A: Leptomycin A is produced by selected Streptomyces species, which are a genus of bacteria.
