Product Information

• Name: Taxicatin
• Synonyms: 3,5-Dimethoxyphenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Taxicatin is a secondary metabolite, which is a plant-derived alkaloid with significant pharmacological activity. It is sourced from a specific species of plant known for its bioactive compounds, often found within the tropics. The mode of action of Taxicatin involves the disruption of critical cellular processes, including the inhibition of microtubule assembly during cell division, which ultimately leads to apoptosis in rapidly dividing cells. This makes it a potent candidate for research into anticancer therapies. Taxicatin's uses and applications are primarily in the area of oncology, where its efficacy in interfering with malignant cell proliferation is being rigorously evaluated. Furthermore, its role as a template in drug design and development is of considerable interest, owing to its unique structural characteristics that can be utilized to synthesize novel compounds with improved therapeutic indices. Research is ongoing to explore the full spectrum of its biochemical interactions and potential synergistic effects when combined with other therapeutic agents.
