Product Description
Mechanism of Action
IDARUBICIN (ID 26400) exhibits a multi-dimensional biochemical activity profile that affects cellular regulation at enzyme, receptor, and transcriptional levels. Its molecular interactions can alter phosphorylation cycles, modulate ionic homeostasis, influence mitochondrial respiration, and adjust redox-signaling pathways. Structural properties suggest specific affinity for regulatory proteins, enabling modulation of metabolic flux and cellular response thresholds.
Benefits and Advantages
This compound is suited for high-resolution mechanistic research, multi‑omics integration studies, receptor-binding experiments, enzyme-pathway mapping, and advanced pharmacodynamic modelling. It supports ROS-regulation assays, signalling-cascade analysis, cytoskeletal‑dynamics research, and metabolic adaptation models. Due to predictable biochemical behaviour, it is often used as a comparative reference in pathway‑perturbation studies.
- Useful in mechanistic pharmacology and biochemical modelling
- Applicable in oxidative-stress, mitochondrial-function and signalling studies
- Reliable for transcriptional and proteomic profiling
- Supports SAR (structure–activity relationship) investigations
Side Effects and Risks
Potential risks include mitochondrial overload, ROS imbalance, inadvertent receptor cross‑talk, disruption of ion-channel dynamics, and dose-dependent cytotoxicity. High exposure may trigger apoptosis, autophagy, or cellular stress-response activation. Controlled handling conditions and biosafety protocols are required for laboratory use.
