Aphidicolin is a specific inhibitor of DNA polymerase α and δ, arresting cells in early S phase without affecting other polymerases. It is widely used in cell cycle studies and apoptosis research. In neuroscience, Aphidicolin is employed to investigate DNA replication stress, cell cycle regulation, and gene amplification in neural cells, contributing to the understanding of neurodegenerative mechanisms involving genomic instability.
Classification: Caution: Not a hazardous substance or mixture.
Safety Phrases:
- S22 - Do not breathe dust
- S24/25 - Avoid contact with skin and eyes
- S36/37/39 - Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection

Need this compound in a format that drops straight into your assay? We can tailor formulation, chemistry, and documentation so your results stay consistent across runs and re-orders.
- Format options: solid or pre-dissolved solution (choose solvent), target concentration, aliquots, light/moisture-protected packaging
- Chemistry options: free base/acid vs salt forms, hydrate/solvate preference, stereoisomer control (single enantiomer or racemate), close analogs
- Add-on labels & handles: D/¹³C/¹⁵N isotopes (LC-MS/internal standards), azide/alkyne or other functional handles for conjugation
- QC & documentation: standard COA or enhanced analytical pack (HPLC/LC-MS/NMR), chiral purity, residual solvents, water content (KF), method-specific specs
- Scale & continuity: mg to gram scale, bulk pricing, lot reservation, repeat-order continuity
To quote quickly, tell us: compound name + CAS/structure (SMILES or mol file), intended assay context, solvent preference, salt/stereochemistry requirements, purity/QC level, and the amount (mg–g).
