RAPTA-C

• Product Name Alternative:

  Ru(η6-p-cymene)Cl2(pta)

• UNSPSC Description:

  RAPTA-C (Ru(η6-p-cymene)Cl2(pta)) acts as an anti-cancer and anti-angiogenic agent. RAPTA-C exhibits anti-metastatic, anti-angiogenic, and anti-tumoral activities through protein and histone-deoxyribonucleic acid alterations. RAPTA-C exhibits cell growth inhibition by triggering G(2)/M phase arrest in cancer cells. RAPTA-C also enhances the levels of p53 and triggers the mitochondrial Apoptotic pathway, resulting in cytochrome C release and caspase-9 activation. RAPTA-C reduces the growth of tumors with the inhibition of angiogenesis in a ovarian carcinoma model[1][2][3].
