Retro-2(Cat No.:R067066)is a small-molecule inhibitor that disrupts retrograde transport between endosomes and the Golgi apparatus. By targeting the endoplasmic reticulum exit site protein Sec16A, Retro-2 impedes the trafficking of toxins and pathogens that exploit this pathway, such as ricin and Shiga-like toxins. This inhibition prevents these agents from reaching their intracellular targets, thereby protecting cells from their harmful effects. Additionally, Retro-2 has demonstrated efficacy against certain viruses and intracellular bacteria, making it a valuable tool in studying cellular transport mechanisms and developing therapeutic strategies against various pathogens.
