duplex DNA

Duocarmycin TM 是一种有抗肿瘤活性的抗生素，也是一种 DNA 烷化剂。

Duocarmycin SA is an extremely potent cytotoxic agent and antitumor antibiotic that induces sequence-selective alkylation of duplex DNA, with an IC50 of 10 pM. It demonstrates synergistic cytotoxicity against glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells when combined with proton radiation in vitro.

Furamidine is also a selective and cell-permeable protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) inhibitor with an IC50 of 9.4 μM. Furamidine is selective for PRMT1 over PRMT5, PRMT6, and PRMT4 (CARM1) (IC50s of 166 μM, 283 μM, and >400 μM, respectively). Furamidine (DB75) is abisbenzamidine derivative and an antiparasite agent. Furamidine is a potent, reversible and competitive tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP-1) inhibitor. Inhibition of TDP-1 by Furamidine is effective both with single- and double-stranded DNA substrates but is slightly stronger with the duplex DNA.

Pentamidine 是抗微生物剂，会干扰 DNA 的生物合成。它是选择性蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶和再生肝磷酸酶抑制剂。它可用于冈比亚锥虫病，抗锑利什曼病和卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎的研究，有抗肿瘤活性，抗菌活性。
