| Invitro | Abacavir (15 and 150 μM, 0-120 h) 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) significantly reduces cell migration and inhibits cell invasion[1].Abacavir induces fat apoptosis[4]. Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Line: | ||||||||||||
