It was discovered by Alma Whiffen-Barksdale of Upjohn Company in 1946. The compound is routinely used as a selection agent in several types of isolation media. Cycloheximide can be used as a tool in molecular biology for ribosome profiling/translational profiling to understand the complexity of translation initiation. It cna be used to study protein syntheesis, expression and degradation, and determine the half-life of proteins, or in in chase experiments to analyze protein degradation.
