Bioactivity | 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]. |
Invitro | Nitracrine (2 μM; 1 hour) causes death of 50% of human erythroleukemia K562 cells under illumination for 48 min. While it is 8.5 hours for Nitracrine on the dark[3]. Nitracrine has LD50s of 0.23 μM, 0.6 μM, 0.16 μM in P388 cell, NIH3T3 cell, and K562 cells under illumination after 1 hour of cells incubation, respectively[3]. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. 0 --> Nitracrine dihydrochloride hydrate 相关抗体: Cell Viability Assay[3] Cell Line: |
