Application Notes

Kazusamycin A is a minor member of the leptomycin complex isolated from some Streptomyces species. It is an hydroxylated analogue of leptomycin B, a nuclear export inhibitor. Kazusamycin A exhibits potent antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo against P388 and L1210 cell lines, and also shows strong antibacterial and antifungal activity.
