Description
Monastrol (254753-54-3) is a potent, cell-permeable, small molecule inhibitor of mitosis. Monastrol-arrested cells are characterized by monopolar spindles.1?Does not affect other motor proteins or tubulin. Specifically inhibits the mitotic molecular motor kinesin Eg5, a motor protein required for spindle formation (IC50?= 14 μM).2?Mimics the effect of amyloid β on long term potentiation in a cellular model of learning and memory.3?Enhances regeneration of adult axons.4

Uses
Inhibitor of mammalian cell mitosis. Monastrol has been used:to treat MDA-MB-231 cells as a non-microtubule-targeting agentas a antineoplastic agent, to treat mouse myeloma cell line SP 2/0, to induce apoptosis and to elucidate the role of metabotropic glutamate receptor 3 (Grm3) in apoptosisas an inhibitor of pteridine reductase in GFP-transfected promastigotes infected macrophages for flow cytometer-based growth inhibition assay and to evaluate anti-leishmanial activity of Leishmania donovani hamster model in vivo A cell-permeablesmall molecule inhibitor of the mitotic kinesin, Eg5, arrests cells in mitosis with monoastral spindles
