Jasplakinolide is a naturally occurring cyclo-depsipeptide. It was first isolated from a species of marine sponge named Jaspis johnstoni. It is permeable to the cell membrane meaning that it is able to cross the membrane.[1] Once it crosses the cell membrane, it is a potent inducer and stabilizer of actin filaments meaning that it rapidly stabilizes pre-existing filaments and polymerize the protein actin.[2] It also inhibits the disassembly of theses filaments. When doing this, it competes with phalloidin making it unable to bind with F-actin.[3]
