Idronoxil

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Description:Idronoxil, also known as Phenoxodiol, is a synthetic flavonoid derivative. Phenoxodiol activates the mitochondrial caspase system, inhibits X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP), and disrupts FLICE inhibitory protein (FLIP) expression, resulting in tumor cell apoptosis. This agent also inhibits DNA topoisomerase II by stabilizing the cleavable complex, thereby preventing DNA replication and resulting in tumor cell death.

Technical Data

Additional Information

The primary target of phenoxodiol is a protein receptor known as tNOX (NADH oxidase). This receptor plays an important role in helping to maintain high levels of anti-apoptotic proteins in the cancer cell. By binding to the tNOX receptor and blocking its function, phenoxodiol eventually switches off the production of the anti-apoptotic proteins. This in turn leads to activation of proteolytic enzymes within the cancer cell known as caspases. These digest the cancer cell when activated, leading to the self-destructive form of cell death known as apoptosis. (from Marshall Edwards Inc"s website)
