Biological Activity

[Description]:

Aphidicolin is an inhibitor of DNA polymerase α and δ, prevents mitotic cell division by interfering with the activity of DNA polymerase[1].Aphidicolin is an antibiotic produced by the mold Cephalosporium aphidicola. Aphidicolin is a potent inhibitor of cellular deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis and inhibits the growth of herpes simplex virus[2].Aphidicolin potentiates apoptosis induced by arabinosyl nucleosides in a human promyelocytic leukemia cell line[3].

Retrovirology 11 , 118, (2015)

Down-modulation of the CD4 receptor is one of the hallmarks of HIV-1 infection and it is believed to confer a selective replicative advantage to the virus in vivo. This process is mainly mediated by t...
