Daunorubicin hydrochloride is a compound extensively studied in biochemical and molecular biology research due to its ability to intercalate with DNA. This intercalation disrupts the function of nucleic acids and is used by researchers to study the effects of such disruptions on DNA replication and RNA synthesis. In molecular biology experiments, daunorubicin hydrochloride is used as a tool to understand the dynamics of DNA-protein interactions and the mechanisms of DNA damage and repair. Its fluorescence properties also make it useful in various assays where it can serve as a probe for the visualization of cellular components. Additionally, the compound is employed in biophysical studies to investigate the structural changes in DNA and chromatin upon binding of intercalative agents, providing insights into the conformational aspects of nucleic acid structures. The hydrochloride salt form of daunorubicin ensures high solubility in water-based solutions, making it suitable for a range of experimental conditions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from ZhangZhang, X. et al. (PubMed 26051726) reported that the combination of arsenic trioxide and Daunorubicin could promote acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and NB4 cell apoptosis effectively without aggravating blood coagulation disorders, which might improve coagulation function of APL by inhibiting coagulation and hyperfibrinolysis through reducing expression of tissue factor and annexin II. -SCBT Publication Review
