Description
Thiolutin is a natural dithiol that reversibly inhibits bacterial and yeast RNA polymerases (IC50 = 3 μg/ml). Because of this, it can be used for the analysis of mRNA stability. Thiolutin also inhibits endothelial cell adhesion (IC50 < 1 μM) and S180 tumor-induced angiogenesis in mice by inhibiting Hsp27 interactions with cytoskeletal elements.

Uses
Thiolutin is an antibiotic first described by Tanner and co-workers in 1950. Resurgent interest in this class of microbial metabolites was stimulated by the discovery of their selective antitumour activity. Thiolutin is a potent inhibitor of bacterial and yeast RNA polymerases, and also inhibits mannan and glucan formation in fungi. Thiolutin suppresses tumour cell-induced angiogenesis in vivo. Thiolutin is an antibiotic isolated from several strains of Streptomyces albus. Thiolutin is a natural dithiol that reversibly inhibits bacterial and yeast RNA polymerases. Thiolutin has been used as a polymerase II inhibitor:to study its effects on yeast cells to calculate transcript half-life to study its effects on transcription during germination in budding yeast to study its effects on cell adhesion in zebrafish
