MedKoo Cat#: 200720 | Name: Amsilarotene

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Amsilarotene ( TAC-101) is a retinobenzoic acid with potential antineoplastic activity. TAC-101 inhibits retinoblastoma-gene product (RB) phosphorylation and increases the presence of 2 cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors, resulting in cell cycle arrest. This agent also causes a cytotoxic decline in cyclin A and thymidylate synthase expression.
