Bioactivity | Abacavir sulfate (Abacavir Hemisulfate) is a competitive, orally active nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Abacavir sulfate can inhibits the replication of HIV. Abacavir sulfate shows anticancer activity in prostate cancer cell lines. Abacavir sulfate can trespass the blood-brain-barrier and suppresses telomerase activity[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | Abacavir (15 and 150 μM, 0-120 h) sulfate inhibits cell growth, affects cell cycle progression, induces senescence and modulates LINE-1 mRNA expression in prostate cancer cell lines[1]. Abacavir (15 and 150 μM, 18 h) sulfate significantly reduces cell migration and inhibits cell invasion[1].Abacavir sulfate induces fat apoptosis[4]. Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Line: |
