Medchemexpress LLC Aphidicolin | 38966-21-1 | 10 MG
Aphidicolin is an inhibitor of DNA polymerase α and δ, preventing mitotic cell division by interfering with DNA polymerase activity. This antibiotic is produced by the mold *Cephalosporium aphidicola*. It inhibits cellular deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis, the growth of herpes simplex virus, and exhibits anti-orthopoxvirus activity. Additionally, Aphidicolin can potentiate apoptosis induced by arabinosyl nucleosides in human promyelocytic leukemia cell lines.
