Información del producto

• Nombre: Altretamine hydrochloride
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descripción: Altretamine hydrochloride is a chemotherapy drug that is metabolized by methylating enzymes, which are primarily located in the liver. It inhibits tumor growth by inhibiting the function of DNA polymerase and DNA topoisomerase I, which are enzymes involved in DNA replication and repair. Altretamine also has anti-cancer activity against respiratory tract tumors. It is not active against tumors that have no oxygen requirements (e.g., breast cancer). Altretamine is toxic to cells when it binds to methyl groups because it prevents their use for other cellular processes. The effects of altretamine on the environment are unknown but may be significant given its high toxicity to aquatic organisms.
