Dihydrocytochalasin B (DHCB) is a fungal metabolite produced by the fungus *Phomopsis longicolla*. It is a potent inhibitor of actin polymerization, which is a critical process for cell motility, division, and other cellular functions. DHCB has been extensively studied for its potential as an anti-cancer agent. It has shown promising activity against various cancer cell lines, including leukemia, melanoma, and breast cancer. DHCB has also been investigated for its ability to inhibit the growth of parasitic protozoa. The synthesis of DHCB involves a complex multi-step process that utilizes a variety of organic reactions and reagents. DHCB's effects are primarily attributed to its ability to bind to and disrupt actin filaments. This disruption leads to a variety of cellular changes, including inhibition of cell migration, cytokinesis, and endocytosis.'
