A cell-permeable polyketide that displays potent antitumor properties in eukaryotes. Originally identified as a metabolite from the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum for its antibiotic activities against yeasts and filamentous fungi, ratjadones inhibit nuclear export of LR-NES (leucine rich-nuclear export signal)-containing proteins by covalently binding to CRM1. Inhibits proliferation (IC50 ≤ 1 ng/ml) and induces cell cycle arrest at G1 phase.
