Nonstick : Aplyronine A (ApA) is an antitumor and apoptogenic macrolide of marine origin. We prepared a fluorescent derivative of ApA that accumulated strongly throughout the cytoplasm and caused the rapid disassembly of the actin cytoskeleton in tumor cells. We also established that ApA caused malfunction of cell adhesion and dephosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase with apoptosis.
