  • Title: Chemical biology studies on norrisolide.
    Author: Guizzunti G, Brady TP, Fischer D, Malhotra V, Theodorakis EA.
    Journal: Bioorg Med Chem; 2010 Mar 15; 18(6):2115-2122. PubMed ID: 20189813.
    Abstract:
    The cellular activity of norrisolide (7), a novel Golgi-vesiculating agent, was dissected as function of its chemical structure. This natural product induces irreversible vesiculation of the Golgi membranes and blocks protein transport at the level of the Golgi. The Golgi localization and fragmentation effects of 7 depend on the presence of the perhydroindane core, while the irreversibility of fragmentation depends on the acetyl group of 7. We show that fluorescent derivatives of norrisolide are able to localize to the Golgi apparatus and represent important tools for the study of the Golgi structure and function.
