Amsacrine (m-AMSA; acridinyl anisidide) is an inhibitor oftopoisomeraseII, and acts as an antineoplastic agent which can intercalates into the DNA of tumor cells.

Amsacrine (m-AMSA) blocks HERG currents in HEK 293 cells and Xenopus oocytes in a concentration-dependent manner, with IC₅₀values of 209.4 nm and 2.0 μM, respectively. Amsacrine (m-AMSA) causes a negative shift in the voltage dependence of both activation (–7.6 mV) and inactivation (–7.6 mV). HERG current block by amsacrine is not frequency dependent^[1]. In vitro studies of normal human lymphocytes with various concentrations of Amsacrine (m-AMSA), show both increased levels of chromosomal aberrations, ranging from 8% to 100%, and increase SCEs, ranging from 1.5 times the normal at the lowest concentration studied (0.005 μg/mL) to 12 times the normal (0.25 μg/mL)^[3]. Amsacrine (m-AMSA)-induced apoptosis of U937 cells is characterized by caspase-9 and caspase-3 activation, increased intracellular Ca²⁺concentration, mitochondrial depolarization, and MCL1 down-regulation. Amsacrine (m-AMSA) induces MCL1 down-regulation by decreasing its stability. Further, amsacrine-treated U937 cells show AKT degradation and Ca²⁺-mediated ERK inactivation^[4].

In animals treated with different doses of amsacrine (0.5-12 mg/kg), the frequencies of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes increase significantly after treatment with 9 and 12 mg/kg. Furthermore, the present study demonstrates for the first time that Amsacrine (m-AMSA) has high incidences of clastogenicity and low incidences of aneugenicity whereas nocodazole has high incidences of aneugenicity and low incidences of clastogenicity during mitotic phases in vivo^[2].
