Plitidepsin(CAS: 137219-37-5)

Plitidepsin is a naturally derived antitumor compound with a unique mechanism of action. It contains 17 amino acids and has immunomodulatory properties. It is used in anticancer therapy and research due to its ability to selectively induce apoptosis in cancer cells while sparing normal cells.

Plitidepsin is primarily used in the treatment of hematological malignancies and solid tumors. It is also used in preclinical and clinical research to study its antitumor effects and potential therapeutic applications.

Plitidepsin is generally considered safe when used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. However, it may cause side effects such as fatigue, nausea, and fever. It is important to follow medical guidelines and take necessary precautions to minimize risks.

Plitidepsin should be stored in a tightly sealed container at 2-8°C (36-46°F) in a refrigerator. It should be protected from light and kept in a dry place. Avoid freezing and do not use if the container has been opened or the seal is damaged.
