TH5427 hydrochloride is a potent and selective inhibitor of NUDT5 with an IC50 of 29 nM. It demonstrates a remarkable 690-fold selectivity towards NUDT5 compared to MTH1. Moreover, TH5427 hydrochloride effectively inhibits progestin-dependent, PAR-derived nuclear ATP synthesis in breast cancer cells, thereby impeding chromatin remodeling, gene regulation, and ultimately suppressing proliferation.
FT-1101 is an orally bioavailable, potent and selective BET inhibitor. FT-1101 binds to the acetylated lysine recognition motifs in the bromodomain sites of BET proteins, thereby preventing the interaction between the BET proteins and acetylated histones. This disrupts chromatin remodeling and gene expression. Prevention of the expression of certain growth-promoting genes may lead to the inhibition of tumor cell growth. BET proteins, comprised of BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRDT, are transcriptional regulators that play an important role during development and cellular growth.
Nanatinostat, also known as Tractinostat, CHR-3996 and VRx-3996, is an orally bioavailable, second-generation hydroxamic acid-based inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC) with potential antineoplastic activity. HDAC inhibitor CHR-3996 inhibits HDAC, resulting in an accumulation of highly acetylated histones, the induction of chromatin remodeling, and the selective transcription of tumor suppressor genes; these events may result in the inhibition of tumor cell division and the induction of tumor cell apoptosis. This agent may upregulate HSP70 and downregulate anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins more substantially than some first-generation HDAC inhibitors. HDACs, upregulated in many tumor cell types, are a family of metalloenzymes responsible for the deacetylation of chromatin histone proteins.
3'-Deoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate trisodium (3'-dUTP trisodium) is a nucleotide analogue that inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerases I and II. 3'-Deoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate trisodium strongly and competitively inhibits the incorporations of UTP into RNA with a Ki value of 2.0 μM[1]. 3'-Deoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate (3'-dUTP) is synthesized starting from cordycepin in good yield. 3'-Deoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate strongly and competitively inhibits the incorporations of UTP into RNA by the RNA polymerases. 3'-Deoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate will be useful in studies at the molecular level on the relationship of template and substrate in RNA synthesis with chromatin, isolated nuclei or permeable cells, because it does not have any effect on poly (rA) synthesis[1].
