Cyclic Pifithrin-Alpha Hydrobromide
Catalog Number : 5118819
description
Cyclic Pifithrin-alpha is a reversible and cell-permeable inhibitor of p53, which plays a crucial role in apoptosis, angiogenesis, and genomic stability. The cyclic form is the more stable and less cytotoxic version of the molecule. It is reported to be capable of increasing the efficiency of inducing pluripotent stem cells.
