Application

IMM-01 has been used as a formin activator to study its effects on motor neurons (MNs).

Biochem/physiol Actions

IMM-01 binds and activates formin thereby leading to autoinhinition.

IMM-01 is an agonist of the mammalian Diaphanous (mDia)-related formins that triggers actin assembly and microtubule stabilization, serum response factor-mediated gene expression, cell-cycle arrest, and apoptosis. IMM-01 inhibits DID–DAD binding, which in turn activates mDia family of formins in cells. IMM-01 slows tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model of colon cancer.
