Cytochalasin D (Zygosporin A; NSC 209835) is a potent and cell-permeable inhibitor of actin polymerization derived from fungus, inhibits the G-actin–cofilin interaction by binding to G-actin. Cytochalasin D (Zygosporin A; NSC 209835) also inhibits the binding of cofilin to F-actin and decreases the rate of both actin polymerization and depolymerization in living cells[1][2][3].Cytochalasin D can reduce exosome release, in turn reducing the amount of survivin present in the tumour environment[4]. Cytochalasin D induces phosphorylation and cytoplasmic retention of YAP[5].
