Product Description
A bitter-tasting crystalline alkaloid,derived from ipecac root and used in the treatment of amebiasis and as an emetic.Irreversibly blocks protein synthesis by inhibiting the movement of ribosome along the mRNA. Induces hypotension by blocking adrenoreceptors. Inhibits DNA replication in the early S phase. Inhibits HIF-1 activation by hypoxia. Induces apoptosis in leukemia cells. Also, selectively inhibits multiple glioblastoma (GBM) stem cells-enriched cultures.
