Apicidin D2
Application Notes
Apicidin D2 is the 8’S-alcohol derivative of apicidin, produced by Fusarium sp.. While there is minimal published data on the biological activity of apicidin D2, the apicidins are histone deacetylase inhibitors and have potent and broad spectrum antitumor, antiparasitic and antiprotozoan activity.
