Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Edelfosine has anti-inflammatory, anti-autoimmune, antiparasitic and anti-viral properties. It stimulates eryptosis by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Edelfosine has been used to treat human lung carcinoma A549 cells and study its effects on tuftelin 1 (TUFT1) expression. It is also used to evaluate the cell growth of MCF-7/M cells._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 5, 25 mg in glass bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Edelfosine is a synthetic alkyl-lisophospholipid with anti-tumor activity. The compound induces apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells. Edelfosine accumulates in the cell membrane, where it alters lipid composition and induces the co-clustering of lipid rafts and Fas/CD95 death receptor._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ This compound is a featured product for Kinase Phosphatase Biology research.
