Nitracrine (dihydrochloride hydrate)
Product Specifications
UNSPSC Description
Nitracrine (dihydrochloride hydrate) inhibits RNA synthesis and covalently, reversibly binds to DNA but also forms covalent adducts with DNA in vivo. Nitracrine (dihydrochloride hydrate), a 1-nitroacridine derivative, is a potent hypoxia-selective agent in vitro and antitumor agent. Nitracrine (dihydrochloride hydrate) has cytotoxicity towards most cells[1][2][3].
