N-Trifluoroacetyladriamycin is a metabolite of Valrubicin (N-trifluoroacetyladriamycin-14-valerate, trade name Valstar). Valrubicin is a chemotherapy drug utilized to treat bladder cancer. Valrubicin is the anthracycline doxorubicin analog and is administ
Echistatin TFA, the smallest active RGD protein belonging to the family of disintegrins that are derived from snake venoms, is a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation. Echistatin is a potent inhibitor of bone resorption in culture. Echistatin is a potent antagonist of αIIbβ3, αvβ3 and α5β1[1][2][3][4].
