Product Information

• Name: Diethyldithiocarbamic acid sodium trihydrate
• Synonyms: Sodium N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Diethyldithiocarbamic acid sodium salt trihydrate (DDC) is an inhibitor of the response element that belongs to a class of pharmacological agents called diethyldithiocarbamates. DDC inhibits the growth of tumor cells by blocking enzyme activities and decreasing the production of GSH-Px enzymes, which are required for cellular protection against oxidative stress. DDC is also a potent inducer of experimental models for myocardial infarcts. The matrix effect is another mechanism by which DDC exerts its antitumor activity. This effect is due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis in tumor cells and its ability to inhibit the synthesis of collagen in endothelial cells, thereby preventing angiogenesis.
