Description: |
Homoharringtonine is a cytotoxic alkaloid from the evergreen tree, Cephalotaxus hainanensis. Binds to the 80S ribosome in eukaryotic cells and inhibits protein synthesis by interfering with chain elongation. Blocks progression of leukemic cells from G1 phase into S phase and from G2 phase into M phase. |
