Phomopsins are a family of mycotoxins produced by the fungus D. toxica, which predominantly infects lupines. Ingestion of lupines infected with D. toxica causes lupinosis, a degenerative disorder that can result in acute liver damage, brain damage, and death.{31104} Phomopsin A is a cyclic hexapeptide mycotoxin that binds β-tubulin in a vinca domain, overlapping with the site targeted by vinblastine (Item No. 11762) and other tubulin inhibitors.{31105,31103} It binds β-tubulin from higher organisms but not α-tubulin or fungal mycelial tubulin.{31106,31107} Phomopsin A blocks microtubule growth, modulates the dynamics of microtubules, and interferes with mitosis.{31107}

    The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates the expression of numerous genes involved in immunity and inflammation, cellular stress responses, growth, and apoptosis. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic trans-stilbene, is a known inhibitor of the activation of NF-κB and exhibits activity against a wide variety of cancer cells. CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity. The IC50 value for inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB by CAY10512 is 0.15 µM compared to 20 µM by resveratrol.{14545}
