Cycloheximide was initially produced by Streptomyces. Cycloheximide inhibits protein synthesis in eukaryotes by preventing tRNA translocation and elongation. Cycloheximide is not used in humans due to its high toxicity. In research models, cycloheximide is used to determine protein lifespan and ribosomal profiling.
