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[2].In Vitro: Quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride (5 μg/ml) can be used for the DNA strain of plant, animal, or human chromosomes.
Quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride (28 μM) increases the number ofmutants that appeared after an exposure of bacteria[2].
quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride (0.2 μM; 4h) induces cell cycle arrest at G2+M-phase in HL-60 cells.
Caffeine (5 mM) prevents the cytotoxic action of quinacrine mustard dihydrochloride (0.2 μM; 4h) in HL-60 cells.
