Lavendustin B is a competitive inhibitor of glucose transporter 1 (Glut1; Ki = 15 μM).1 It is also an inhibitor of the interaction between HIV-1 integrase and LEDGF/p75 (IC50 = 94.07 μM).2 Lavendustin B is a weak inhibitor of tyrosine kinases (IC50 = 0.49 μg/ml) and has been used as a negative control for the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor lavendustin A .3,4,5
