See if a class is a subclass of other?

Is there any manner to know if a class is a subclass of another from
class name as string?

I meant something in the line of is_subclass_of but using the name of
the child class instead of an object instance.

TIA

In such situations I have used get_parent_class() in a loop.
You may write a function for you that provides the behaviour you
need and uses get_parent_class().
