Amsacrine hydrochloride(Cat No.:I003990)is an anthracycline derivative primarily used as a chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of various hematologic malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It functions by intercalating into DNA and inhibiting topoisomerase II, leading to the disruption of DNA replication and ultimately inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. Amsacrine’s unique mechanism of action enhances its effectiveness against rapidly dividing tumors. Despite its therapeutic benefits, careful monitoring is required due to potential side effects, including cardiotoxicity and myelosuppression, highlighting the importance of managing treatment regimens effectively.
