Product Description: Quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride is a fluorochrome. Quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride as a polycyclic aromatic agent can be used as mutagenic agent induces the mutants of bacteria. Quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride induces cell cycle arrest at G2/M-phase. Quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride has the potential for the research of plant, animal, or human chromosomes[1][2][3].
Formula: C23H30Cl5N3O
