Product Data Sheet
Hycanthone
Catalog No. A37726
Hycanthone is a potent topoisomerase inhibitor that functions as a thioxanthenone DNA intercalator. It effectively inhibits RNA synthesis and the activity of DNA topoisomerases I and II, leading to a reduction in nucleic acid biosynthesis. Additionally, Hycanthone demonstrates significant inhibition of apurinic endonuclease-1 (APE1) through direct protein binding, with a binding affinity (KD) of 10 nM. This compound is recognized as a bioactive metabolite of Lucanthone and is noted for its anti-schistosomal properties, making it valuable in related research applications.
