Hycanthone
Hycanthone mesylate is a potent antischistosomal agent that functions as a DNA intercalator, inhibiting RNA synthesis and topoisomerases I/II. It also directly binds and inhibits APE1 (KD: 10 nM), disrupting nucleic acid biosynthesis. This compound has been utilized in molecular parasitology research, including studies on schistosome infection models.
