General description

DMSO stock solution can be diluted in phosphate buffered saline. The ratio of buffer:DMSO should be greater than 500:1.
Herbimycin A from Streptomyces hygroscopicus is a benzoquinoid ansamycin antibiotic. It is an analog of geldanamycin.

Application

Herbimycin A from Streptomyces hygroscopicus has been used as an inhibitor of Src tyrosine kinase in HEK293T cells and rat intestinal epithelial cells. It has also been used to test its attenuation effect in intimal hyperplasia (IH) post balloon injury in rat carotid artery.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Herbimycin A is an inducer of heat shock protein (HSP). It increases HSP expression resulting in the attenuation of ischemia reperfusion induced pulmonary injury.
An antibiotic that inhibits protein tyrosine kinase. Herbimycin A is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis.

Caution

Hygroscopic and photosensitive

Human amnion cells in primary culture respond to glucocorticoids in a characteristic fashion by the increased expression of the inducible prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthase isoenzyme, PGHS-2. Since PGHS-2 induction by agonists generally involves tyrosine kinases, we examined the possibility that

We previously reported that a 21-kDa phosphoprotein may play an important role in superoxide production through dephosphorylation by neutrophillike differentiated HL-60 cells (Suzuki et al., 1995, Biochim Biophys Acta 1266: 261-267). The phosphoprotein was identified as cofilin, an actin-binding protein

Six herbimycin A (HBM) derivatives were examined for their anti-angiogenic effects in a bioassay system involving chorioallantoic membranes (CAMs) of growing chick embryos on the basis of our previous observation that HBM is a potent angiogenesis inhibitor. 17-Cyclopropylamino-HBM dose-dependently inhibited

It is important to understand the mechanisms by which phosphorylation-dependent events play a role in regulation of apoptosis in toxicant-metabolizing organs such as the kidney. Our previous work demonstrated that the toxicant and phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid induces apoptosis of
