    Product Description

    GC7 is an inhibitor of deoxyhypusine synthase (Ki = 9.7 nM), an enzyme that participates in the biosynthesis of the amino acid hypusine, which is formed post-translationally on eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF5A).1 It inhibits the production of hypusine in CHO cells when used at a concentration of 1 µM. GC7 (20 µM) inhibits activation of eIF5A2 and enhances the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin in Huh7 and HepG2 cells.2 It reduces tumor growth in a Melan-a Tm5 murine melanoma model when administered at a dose of 0.9 mg/kg.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
