Methyl-3,4-dephostatin is a tyrphostin-related compound isolated from Streptomyces MJ742-NF5 strain. It favors nerve growth factor-based neurite formation in pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. Being a stable analog of the nitrosoaniline dephostatin, it can mimic phosphotyrosine substrate for Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase I (TdpI).
