Its mechanism of action is to inhibit the initial stage of protein synthesis, inhibit the activity of DNA polymerase α, lead to a decrease in DNA synthesis, and severely inhibit protein synthesis. This product also has the effects of inducing cell differentiation, increasing cAMP content, and inhibiting glycoprotein synthesis.

Ingredients

The main ingredient of this product is harringtonine, and its chemical name is: [3 (R)]-2-hydroxy-2-(3-(hydroxy-3-methylbutyl)-truncatine succinic acid 4-methyl ester
