    Ciliobrevin D purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: J Virol. 2021 Feb 24;95(10):e02436-20.  [Abstract]

    Ciliobrevin D (20 μM) inhibited CSFV entry. PK-15 cells were pretreated with Ciliobrevin D (μM) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at 37°C for 1 h and inoculated with CSFV (MOI = 10) at 4°C for 1 h and then shifted to 37°C for endocytosis. At 0, 1, 2, and 6 hpi, cell cultures were harvested for RT-qPCR.

    Description

    Ciliobrevin D is a cell-permeable, reversible and specific inhibitor of AAA+ ATPase motor cytoplasmic dynein. Ciliobrevin D inhibits Hedgehog (Hh) signaling and primary cilia formation. Ciliobrevin D inhibits dynein-dependent microtubule gliding and ATPase activity in vitro[1][2].

    IC50 & Target

    Cytoplasmic dynein[1][2]

    In Vitro

    Cells treated with Ciliobrevin D exhibits abnormal (unfocused, multipolar, or collapsed) spindles with disrupted γ-tubulin localization in NIH-3T3 cells. Similar Ciliobrevin-induced spindle defects are observed in HeLa cells, although to a lesser extent. Ciliobrevin D addition also reversibly disrupts the pre-formed spindles of metaphase-arrested cells and reduces overall microtubule levels[1].
    .? Ciliobrevin D reversibly inhibits melanosome aggregation, but the non-cilia-disrupting derivative had no discernible effect at comparable doses. Ciliobrevin D similarly abrogates the movement of peroxisomes in Drosophila S2 cells[1].

    In Vivo

    Knockdown of Dync1h1 or inactivation of dynein 1 by Ciliobrevin D in the testis in vivo perturbs spermatogenesis. Knockdown of Dync1h1 or the use of Ciliobrevin D to inactivate dynein 1 in the testis in vivo perturbs MT organization through changes in the spatial expression of EB1, perturbs F-actin organization, and perturbs distribution of adhesion protein complexes at the BTB, leading to a loss of BTB integrity. F-actin disorganization in the seminiferous epithelium following Dync1h1 knockdown or dynein 1 inactivation by Ciliobrevin D is mediated by changes in the spatiotemporal expression of actin regulatory proteins Arp3 and Eps8[3].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
