Oxamflatin
Oxamflatin (CAS: 151720-43-3; Formula: C17H14N2O4S; MW: 342.37) is a potent hydroxamic acid derivative and a selective histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. It functions as an antitumor agent by targeting HDAC enzymes, which play a critical role in epigenetic regulation. Oxamflatin is primarily utilised in cancer research and cell biology studies for its potential to modulate gene expression and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Available as a solid with high purity.
