Dichloroallyl lawsone（Cat No.:I026071）is a chemical compound derived from lawsone, a natural product found in the henna plant (Lawsonia inermis), with added dichloroallyl groups. Lawsone itself is known for its ability to bind to proteins, especially through its reactive ketone group, which can exhibit various biological activities, including antimicrobial and anticancer properties. The addition of dichloroallyl groups enhances its chemical reactivity and potential for interacting with cellular targets. Dichloroallyl lawsone is under investigation for its therapeutic potential in cancer treatment and other diseases, as it may influence cellular pathways related to growth and survival.
