Amikhellin (AK), an antimitotic drug, is a synthetic water-soluble derivative of khellin, an alkaloid extracted from seeds of Ammi Visnaga. Amikhellin has been used so far mostly as a vasodiator. Amikhellin binds to double-stranded DNA by an intercalation process. It inhibits the DNA-polymerase from murine sarcoma leukemia virus.

Sample Use Guides

In Vitro Use Guide
When amikhellin is allowed to react with poly(rA) n - oligo(dT)10 (nucleolide ratio [A] :[T] -- 20:1 before addition of DNA-polymerase enzyme, there is a drastic inhibition of (3H) dTMP incorporation for drug concentrations between 10 (-4) and 10 (-3) M.
