Retrorsine (Standard)

Retrorsine (Standard) is the analytical standard of Retrorsine. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Retrorsine is a naturally occurring toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloid. Retrorsine can bind with DNA and inhibits the proliferative capacity of hepatocytes. Retrorsine can be used for the research of hepatocellular injury[1][2].
