Biochem/physiol Actions

EGA is a small molecule that blocks the entry of anthrax lethal toxin by inhibiting trafficking pathways in acidified endosomes, without affecting endosome pH. EGA blocks trafficking of other toxins, including diphtheria toxin, but does not inhibit trafficking of ricin. The compound EGA attenuates lysosomal targeting and degradation of the EGF receptor, but does not block does not block endosomal recycling of transferrin.
