CAS 26833-87-4: Homoharringtonine
Description:Homoharringtonine, with the CAS number 26833-87-4, is a natural alkaloid derived from the plant species Cephalotaxus harringtonia. It is primarily known for its role as an antineoplastic agent, particularly in the treatment of certain types of leukemia, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The compound functions by inhibiting protein synthesis, which ultimately leads to the suppression of cancer cell proliferation. Homoharringtonine exhibits a unique mechanism of action by targeting the eukaryotic translation initiation process, making it distinct from other chemotherapeutic agents. It is typically administered intravenously and has been studied for its efficacy in combination with other chemotherapy drugs. The substance is characterized by its complex molecular structure, which includes multiple chiral centers, contributing to its biological activity. While it shows promise in clinical applications, its use may be associated with side effects, including myelosuppression and gastrointestinal disturbances. Ongoing research continues to explore its potential and optimize its therapeutic use in oncology.
