    Product Description

    4-amino-1,8-Naphthalimide (4-ANI) is an inhibitor of PARP (IC50 = 180 nM).1 It blocks radiation-induced PARP in cancer cells, potentiating the cytotoxicity of γ-radiation, although it is not cytotoxic in the absence of radiation.2 4-ANI is used to study the role of PARP activity in various cell systems.3,4,5
