What is Anisomycin
Anisomycin
is a bacterial antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces
griseolus, water and solvents soluble, a low molecular
weight of 265.
Anisomycin inhibits
eukaryotic protein synthesis, by binding to 60S
ribosomal subunits and blocking peptide bond
formation, so stopping elongation and
causing polysome stagnation. The outcome of that, is
chromosomal DNA degradation and apoptosis.
Anisomycin
was first reported in 1954 by
Sobin at al. [1]
Not before 1967 did anyone reported the ability of
Anisomycin to inhibit protein synthesis. [2]
The first report connecting Anisomycin and amnesia
appeared in 1974 [3]
In 1975-1977 several works appeared dealing with
Anisomycin inhibiting cellular and mitochondrial protein
synthesis, and three dealt with memory phenomena: (4),
(5), (6)
Several works were done on inhibition of
acetyl cholinesterase by Anisomycin.
