Cycloheximide

Cycloheximide is a potent inhibitor of eukaryotic protein synthesis. It functions by interfering with the translocation step in protein elongation on 80S ribosomes, effectively halting protein production in eukaryotic cells.

In laboratory and microbiological research, Cycloheximide is commonly used to suppress the growth of fungi in bacterial cultures, study protein synthesis and degradation, and investigate cellular stress responses, gene expression, and signal transduction pathways. It is widely applied in cell biology, molecular biology, and microbiology studies.

This product is intended for laboratory research use only and is not for human or veterinary therapeutic applications.
