DNA Cross Linkers

Applications A trifunctional cross-linking reagent that contains a biotin, sulfhydryl-reactive methanethiosulfonate moiet and an efficient photoactivatable tetrafluorophenyl azide moiety.

Applications A water soluble, bulkier analogue of the charged MTS reagent MTSET. Charged MTS reagents have been used successfully with SCAM (substituted cysteine accessibility method) to probe the topology and function of a number of ligand-gated ion channels and transporter proteins.

Temozolomide is a cancer drug that belongs to the class of alkylating agents. It has been shown to have anticancer activity against human tumor cells in vitro. Temozolomide induces cell death by activating the apoptotic pathway. This drug also inhibits the cell cycle and blocks the G2-M phase, resulting in accumulation of cells at this point in the cell cycle. Temozolomide has been studied for its effects for cancer treatment in certain research approaches.

Stability Light and Moisture Sensitive Applications A cross-linking, biotin-labelled compound. References Hatanaka, Y. et al: Bioorg. Med. Chem., 2, 1367 (1994); Hatanaka, Y. et al: J. Org. Chem., 59, 383 (1994); Hatanaka, Y. et al: Bioorg. Med. Chem. 2, 1367 (1994)

Bendamustine is a bifunctional mechlorethamine derivative with alkylator and antimetabolite properties. An alkylating group, a benzimidazole ring that may function as a purine analog, and a butyric acid side chain are the three active moieties found in bendamustine. Through its function as an alkylating agent, Bendamustine causes intra and inter-strand crosslinks between DNA bases resulting in DNA, RNA synthesis inhibition and cell death. Bendamustine HCl is part of our Bio-X ™ Range. These products are aimed at life science researchers who need high quality ready-to-use products for assay development, screening or other R&D work. With a solubility datasheet and convenient vials, all of our Bio-X ™ products are in stock across our global warehouses for rapid delivery and ease of use.

Applications A biotinylated cross-linking reagent.

Platinum-based anti-tumor drug

Stability Very Hygroscopic Applications A useful ligand for incorporation of EDTA-metal complexes into proteins particularly for investigating orientation of DNA binding proteins.

Mitomycin C is a cytotoxic agent that belongs to the class of mitomycins. It has been used for the treatment of a range of cancers and for ocular surface diseases, such as the glaucoma surgery trabeculectomy. In this case it is administered to reduce post-operative scarring which could otherwise lead to failure of the procedure. Mitomycin C is an alkylating antibiotic that inhibits DNA synthesis by cross-linking the DNA double helix. Mitomycin C also stimulates the production of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Clinically, mitomycin can be used both intravenously and topically, and has been studied in a range of wound healing models. Mitomycin C is part of our Bio-X ™  Range. These products are aimed at life science researchers who need high quality ready to use products for assay development, screening or other R&D work. With a solubility datasheet and convenient vials, all of our Bio-X ™  products are in stock across our global warehouses for rapid delivery and ease of use.

Applications An amine reactive trifunctional cross linker.

Cisplatin, also known as cisplatinum, is a platinum-based anti-cancer agent that inhibits the EGFR, which is a receptor tyrosine kinase. It has been shown to have anti-cancer effects in melanoma cells and to inhibit tumor growth in mice. Cisplatin acts by interfering with the mechanism of DNA repairing. It loses one chloride ligand and binds to DNA to inhibit the synthesis, causing DNA damage, and thus inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. In certain studies, the use of cisplatin in combination with other metal chelators has shown improvement in the uptake of the anticancer drug. CisplatiN - Bio-X™ is part of our Bio-X™ Range. These products are aimed at life science researchers who need high quality ready to use products for assay development, screening or other R&D work. With a solubility datasheet and convenient vials, all of our Bio-X™ products are in stock across our global warehouses for rapid delivery and ease of use.
