Mitoxantrone (dihydrochloride) (Standard)

• UNSPSC Description:

  Mitoxantrone (dihydrochloride) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Mitoxantrone (dihydrochloride). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride is a potent topoisomerase II inhibitor. Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride also inhibits protein kinase C (PKC) activity with an IC50 of 8.5 μM. Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride induces apoptosis of B-CLL (B-chronic lymphocytic leukaemia) cells. Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride shows antitumor activity[1][2][3][4]. Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride also has anti-orthopoxvirus activity with EC50s of 0.25 μM and and 0.8 μM for cowpox and monkeypox, respectively[5].
