Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
(+)-Aphidicolin is a natural tetracyclic diterpene first isolated from the fungus C. aphidicola and shown to have antiviral activity against herpes simplex.1 In eukaryotic cells, it is a cell-permeable, reversible inhibitor of DNA replication, specifically blocking the activity of DNA polymerases α, δ, and ε when used at low micromolar levels.2,3,4 Aphidicolin can be used, at 3 μM, to arrest cells in G1/S phase or to increase gene amplification frequency.5,6 | [Chemical Properties]

(+)-Aphidicolin is a naturally occurring tetracyclic diterpene with potential antiviral and antimitotical properties. | [Uses]
Aphidicolin is a tetracyclic diterpene antibiotic isolated from fungi, notably Cephalosporium, Nigrospora, Harziella and Phoma. Aphidicolin has antibiotic, antiviral and antimitotic properties, blocking the cell cycle at early S-phase. This property has been used to synchronise cell division and is useful as a tool in cell differentiation research. Aphidicolin is a reversible inhibitor of DNA replication by inhibiting selected DNA polymerases. Aphidicolin induces apoptosis, prolongs the half-life of DNA methyltransferase, is active against Leishmania parasites and acts synergistically with the antitumour agents, vincristine and doxorubicin. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A tetracyclic diterpenoid that has an tetradecahydro-8,11a-methanocyclohepta[a]naphthalene skeleton with two hydroxymethyl substituents at positions 4 and 9, two methyl substituents at positions 4 and 11b and two hydroxy substituents at positi
ns 3 and 9. An antibiotic with antiviral and antimitotical properties. Aphidicolin is a reversible inhibitor of eukaryotic nuclear DNA replication. | [General Description]
A cell-permeable tetracyclic diterpene antibiotic. Cell synchronization agent. Blocks the cell cycle at the early S-phase. Specific inhibitor of DNA polymerase α and δ in eukaryotic cells and in some viruses of animal origin. Potentiates apoptosis induced by arabinosyl nucleosides in leukemia cell lines. Also induces apoptosis in HeLaS3 cells, but inhibits vincristine-induced apoptosis in the p53-negative human prostate cancer cell line PC-3. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
