MedKoo Cat#: 146283 | Name: Amphethinile

Description:

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

Amphethinile is a synthetic antimitotic agent that was investigated for its potential as an anticancer drug, though it never reached widespread clinical use. It functions by inhibiting microtubule assembly, disrupting the mitotic spindle formation necessary for cell division, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in rapidly dividing cancer cells. Amphethinile showed activity against a range of tumor types in preclinical studies.
