Product Information

• Name: Acriflavine hydrochloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Acriflavine hydrochloride is a drug that belongs to the class of acridines, which are used as antiseptics and disinfectants. Acriflavine has been shown to have significant cytotoxic effects on mammalian cells, with a high degree of DNA binding activity. It binds to DNA in the nucleus and interferes with replication and transcription. Acriflavine hydrochloride inhibits cell division by binding to the kinetoplast (a region of mitochondrial DNA) during mitosis. This drug also has an effect on cell metabolism, decreasing ATP production and increasing lactate production in mitochondria. Acriflavine hydrochloride also prevents the formation of reactive oxygen species, which can lead to cellular damage.
