• Beschreibung: Ellipticine is an alkaloid compound, which is naturally derived from the plant Apocynaceae family. It is primarily sourced from species such as *Ochrosia elliptica* and *Rauvolfia* species. Ellipticine exhibits its mode of action through intercalation into DNA strands, where it disrupts DNA replication and transcription processes. Furthermore, it impacts the action of topoisomerase II, an enzyme critical for DNA synthesis, thus exerting a potent antitumor effect.
