Product Information

• Name: rac-Harzianolide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: rac-Harzianolide is an analog of Harzianolide, a natural product isolated from the fungus Trichoderma sp. It has been shown to have potent anticancer activity by inhibiting kinases involved in cancer cell growth and survival. In human urine, rac-Harzianolide has been detected after oral administration of chitosan-bound rac-Harzianolide. This compound induces apoptosis in cancer cells and inhibits tumor growth in Chinese hamsters. Rac-Harzianolide acts as a kinase inhibitor, blocking the activity of the protein kinases that are essential for cancer cell proliferation and survival. It is considered a promising candidate for the development of novel anticancer agents.
