Product Information

• Name: 2-Hydroxy-3-methylcholanthrene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Hydroxy-3-methylcholanthrene is a medicinal analog that has been shown to have potent anticancer activity. It inhibits the growth of cancer cells by targeting specific proteins and kinases involved in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. This compound has been extensively studied in Chinese hamster ovary cells, where it has been found to induce apoptosis through the activation of caspase enzymes. 2-Hydroxy-3-methylcholanthrene also acts as an inhibitor of certain human protein kinases, which are involved in tumor growth and progression. This compound has potential for use as an anticancer agent due to its ability to selectively target cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. Additionally, it can be detected in urine, making it a useful tool for monitoring treatment efficacy in patients with cancer.
