Quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride is a fluorochrome. Quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride as a polycyclic aromatic agent can be used as mutagenic agent induces the mutants of bacteria. Quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride induces cell cycle arrest at G2/M-phase. Quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride has the potential for the research of plant, animal, or human chromosomes.

Biological Activity
Quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride (5 μg/mL) can be used for the DNA strain of plant, animal, or human chromosomes[1].
Quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride (28 μM) increases the number of
mutants that appeared after an exposure of bacteria[2].
quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride (0.2 μM; 4h) induces cell cycle arrest at G2+M-phase in HL-60 cells[3].
Caffeine (5 mM) prevents the cytotoxic action of quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride (0.2 μM; 4h) in HL-60 cells[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
