General description
Dynasore is a small molecule GTPase inhibitor that targets dynamin-1, dynamin-2 and Drp1 (mitochondrial). Dynasore blocks dynamin-dependent endocytosis, scission of endocytic vesicles. Dynosore is profibrotic, induces PAI-1 in pleural mesothelial cells, and may be an effective pleurodesing (pleurodesis) agent. Dynasor blocks human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) and bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV1) (pseudovirions) infections.Dynasore hydrate lowers labile cholesterol in the plasma membrane and distorts lipid raft organization. Dynasore exhibits pleotropic effects on herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 and HSV-2 infection. It hinders viral entry, trafficking of viral proteins and capsid formation.
