Product Description



Camptothecin is a highly purified anticancer agent available as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a bitter taste. This pharmaceutical-grade compound is odorless and slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents like methanol and ethanol. Boasting a high purity of 99%, Camptothecin is primarily used in cancer treatment for its ability to inhibit topoisomerase I, a key enzyme involved in DNA replication. With a shelf life of up to 2 years, it must be stored in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture to ensure optimal efficacy. It has a molecular formula of C20H16N2O4 and a molecular weight of 348.36 g/mol, melting between 268-270C. This solid formulation decomposes before boiling and contains less than 0.002% heavy metals. Camptothecin holds the CAS No. 7689-03-4 and EINECS No. 231-711-6, making it suitable for pharmaceutical applications. As a poisonous substance, careful handling is emphasized during use and storage.
