Uses and applications

What the substance is used for, by industry and function

Pharmacological actions

  • Antineoplastic Agents
  • Nucleic Acid Synthesis Inhibitors

Pharmacology

Nitracrine is an acridine derivative with potential cytostatic and antitumor activities. Although the exact mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated, nitracrine induces the unwinding of supercoiled DNA and binds to the DNA through intercalation, forming drug-DNA adducts and DNA interstrand crosslinks. This inhibits RNA synthesis, protein production, cell growth, DNA replication and cell proliferation, altogether, this may promote apoptosis. Since cancer cells have increased metabolism and proliferate at an increased rate, nitracrine may induce tumor cell apoptosis.
