Retrorsine crosslinks host hepatocyte DNA and prevents proliferation after partial hepatectomy (PH), allowing selective expansion of transplanted progenitors. Treated with retrorsine, HSEC-CYP3A4 cells showed significantly reduced cell viability.

Toxicity

The aim of this study was to explore the characteristics of developmental toxicity and fetal hepatotoxicity induced by retrorsine (RTS, a typcial toxic PA) and the underlying mechanism. The results of hepatotoxic study showed that 15-h overnight fasting significantly exacerbated the hepatotoxicity of retrorsine in fasted rats.
