Efaproxiral (Standard)

Efaproxiral (Standard) is the analytical standard of Efaproxiral. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Efaproxiral is a haemoglobin (Hb) synthetic allosteric modifier, decreases Hb-oxygen (O2) binding affinity and enhances oxygenation of hypoxic tumours during radiation therapy [1].
