Properties
Description
Gemcitabine HCl, soluble in DMSO and water and insoluble in ethanol, is an effective DNA damage inhibitor, that has the ability to prevent the pathway of DNA damage by inhibiting DNA-RNA synthesis. It targets the DNA synthesis (BxPC3 cells), DNA synthesis (Capan2 cells), DNA synthesis (MIAPaCa2 cells), and DNA synthesis (PANC1 cells).
