Product Description: Mitoxantrone-d8 (hydrochloride) (Mitozantrone-d8 (hydrochloride)) is deuterium labeled Mitoxantrone (dihydrochloride). Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride is a potent topoisomerase II inhibitor. Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride also inhibits protein kinase C (PKC) activity with an IC50 of 8.5 μM. Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride induces apoptosis of B-CLL (B-chronic lymphocytic leukaemia) cells. Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride shows antitumor activity[1][2][3][4]. Mitoxantrone dihydrochloride also has anti-orthopoxvirus activity with EC50s of 0.25 μM and and 0.8 μM for cowpox and monkeypox, respectively[5].
Applications: COVID-19-anti-virus
Formula: C22H21D8ClN4O6
