Antitumoral Phortress Small Molecule (Tool Compound)
Cat. #: 151839
Sub-type: Antitumoral
Availability: Please enquire for quantities and pricing
Application: Active against breast, ovarian and renal carcinomas. Taken up into sensitive cells followed by aryl hydrocarbon receptor binding and translocation into the nucleus. Requires metabolic activation by cytochrome P450 to generate cytotoxic species. Induces expression of CYP1A1 and generates adducts in the DNA of sensitive MCF7 and IGROV-1 cells.

- Tool name: Antitumoral Phortress Small Molecule (Tool Compound)
- Molecular formula: C20H25Cl2FN4OS
- Tool sub type: Antitumoral
- Primary target: Human derived carcinomas of breast, ovarian and renal origin
- Description: The Antitumoral Phortress compound is a potential anticancer agent for treatment of human breast carcinoma. Phortress is highly selective for susceptible cancer cells because of its mechanism of action. Following the release of 5F 203 from Phortress, it activates AhR signalling and causes induction of cytochrome P450 activity, which metabolically bioactivates 5F 203 to a cytotoxic species at the tumour site. Phortress (the dihydrochloride salt of the lysylamide prodrug of 2-(4-amino-3-methylp...
