Application

A 1415 (OTTO) Actidione, GR 98% Cas 66-81-9 - used only in in vitro research applications, and is not suitable for human use as a therapeutic compound. A 1415 (OTTO) Actidione, GR 98% Cas 66-81-9 - used for selection of CHX-resistant strains of yeast and fungi, controlled inhibition of protein synthesis for detection of short-lived proteins, super-induction of protein expression, and apoptosis induction or facilitation of apoptosis induction by death receptors. It has been shown to selectively clear macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques, activate cumulus-free equine oocytes, and to have neuroprotective properties.
