(3aR,9bS)-6,8-difluoro-4-(pyridin-3-yl)-3a,4,5,9b-tetrahydro-3H-cyclopenta[c]quinoline Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

Golgicide A has been used as an inhibitor in retrotransposition assays and as an inhibitor of Golgi-specific brefeldin A-resistance guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1 protein (GBF1) in HeLa cells.

Definition

ChEBI: 6,8-difluoro-4-(pyridin-3-yl)-3a,4,5,9b-tetrahydro-3H-cyclopenta[c]quinoline is an organic heterotricyclic compound that is 3a,4,5,9b-tetrahydro-3H-cyclopenta[c]quinoline which is substituted by a pyridin-3-yl at position 4 and by fluorines at positions 6 and 8. It is an organic heterotricyclic compound, a member of pyridines, an organofluorine compound and a secondary amino compound.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Golgicide A is a potent, highly specific, reversible inhibitor of the cis-Golgi ArfGEF GBF1. Arf proteins are members of the Ras superfamily of small guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) that mediate vesicular transport. Golgicide A binds within an interfacial cleft formed between Arf1 and the GBF1 Sec7 domain. Golgicide A is a unique and powerful tool for further elucidating the mechanisms underlying assembly and transport within the Golgi, comparable to the use of dynasore for studying the dynamics of dynamin-mediated clathrin coat formation.
