| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro calmodulin binding assay for ophiobolin B involves measuring its interaction with calmodulin. Purified calmodulin is incubated with varying concentrations of ophiobolin B (typically 0.001-100 uM) in buffer containing calcium. Binding is assessed using fluorescence spectroscopy (if the compound is fluorescent), surface plasmon resonance, or by measuring the inhibition of calmodulin-dependent enzyme activity (e.g., calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase). The irreversible nature of the binding can be assessed by dialysis or dilution experiments. The compound's effects on calcium regulation can be measured using calcium-sensitive fluorescent dyes.

| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for ophiobolin B are conducted using cancer cell lines to assess its cytotoxic and apoptotic activities. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with varying concentrations of ophiobolin B (typically 0.001-100 uM) for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT, CellTiter-Glo, or crystal violet staining assays. Apoptosis is evaluated using Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining, by measuring caspase-3/7 activity, or by detecting PARP cleavage by Western blotting. Calcium levels in cells can be measured using fluorescent calcium indicators (e.g., Fluo-4). Membrane integrity can be assessed using propidium iodide uptake or LDH release assays.
