Cytochalasin J can alter mitotic spindle microtubule organization and kinetochore structure.
The cytochalasins are cell-permeable fungal metabolites inhibiting actin polymerization, which can alter diverse processes including cell movement, growth, phagocytosis, degranulation, and secretion.
In vitro: Cytochalasin J was identified as a deacetylated analog of cytochalasin H that weakly inhibited actin assembly but significantly altered mitotic spindle microtubule organization and kinetochore structure [1]. In a previous study, cytochalasin J treatment of prometaphase cells reduced the number of kMTs and the size and organization of the kinetochore lamina. Moreover, in approximately 30% of cells treated with cytochalasin J, the failure of a small number of chromosomes to attach to spindle fibers could be documented. These chromosomes showed a significant change in the organization of the kinetochore laminae. Light microscopic analyses of cells treated with cytochalasin J revealed loss of chromosome congression, with chromsomes usually located at the periphery of the spindle. Cells treated with 10 microg/ml cytochalasin J for 10 min and released into tissue culture medium showed a resumption of chromosome motion within a few minutes, both during congression and anaphase [2].
In vivo: Up to now, there is no animal in vivo data reported.
Clinical trial: So far, no clinical study has been conducted.

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.
Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
