Monobenzone
Catalog No. A10604

Monobenzone is a potent skin depigmenting agent that primarily targets the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) by inhibiting its regulatory subunit, RRM2. It effectively induces depigmentation, making it a valuable compound in vitiligo research. Additionally, Monobenzone demonstrates significant anti-leukemic properties, inhibiting the proliferation and DNA synthesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells, and promoting cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. These dual functionalities position Monobenzone as a critical reagent in both dermatological and oncology studies.
