Biological Activity
Abacavir hydrochloride (15 and 150 μM, 0-120 h) inhibits cell growth, affects cell cycle progression, induces senescence and modulates LINE-1 mRNA expression in prostate cancer cell lines[1].
Abacavir hydrochloride (15 and 150 μM, 18 h) significantly reduces cell migration and inhibits cell invasion[1].
Abacavir hydrochloride induces fat apoptosis[4].
