Application
Bisantrene (NSC 337766), and its derivatives are topoisomerase II poisons and DNA intercalators. It may be used as model compounds to study P-glycoprotein-mediated multiple drug resistance (MDR1). Bisantrene may be used as a Rac1 inhibitor.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Bisantrene dihydrochloride is an antineoplastic agent, MDR1 substrate, DNA intercalator, and topoisomerase II poison. Cancer cells that develop resistance to bisantrene tend to overexpress P-glycoprotein. Bisantrene can be used to select for P-glycoprotein-mediated multiple drug resistance. The data suggest that bisantrene is an excellent substrate for P-glycoprotein.
Bisantrene is an anthracene bishydrazone derivative, which has antitumor activity.
