AZD-4573 is a selective and short-acting inhibitor of the serine threonine cyclin-dependent kinase 9, the catalytic subunit of the RNA polymeraseII elongation factor positive transcription elongation factor b. It also has a potential antineoplastic activ
β-Amanitin, a cyclic peptide toxin found in the poisonous Amanita phalloides mushroom, inhibits eukaryotic RNA polymeraseII and III, thereby disrupting protein synthesis.
Mal-C6-α-Amanitin is a drug-linker conjugate for ADC with potent antitumor activity by using α-Amanitin (an RNA polymeraseII inhibitor), linked via the ADC linker Mal-C6.
5-formylcytosine (5FC) is a rare base found in mammalian DNA. It participates in active DNA demethylation, changes DNA double helix structure, and reduces the transcription rate and substrate specificity of RNA polymeraseII.
TAF10 is one of many protein factors or coactivators associated with RNA polymeraseII activity. One vial of this peptide may be used as a methyltransferase acceptor peptide for more than 200 reactions at 15 μM.
cDPCP is a platinum-containing DNA-crosslinking agent.1Unlike cisplatin or oxaliplatin , cDPCP forms monofunctional DNA adducts. It is transported into cells by organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) and OCT2, inhibiting proliferation of MDCK cells expressing the human transporters with IC50values of 8.1 and 1.5 μM, respectively. cDPCP inhibits RNA polymeraseII-mediated transcription in a reporter assay using HeLa cells. It increases survival in murine S180 sarcoma and P388 leukemia models when administered at doses of 40 and 80 mg/kg, respectively.2 1.Lovejoy, K.S., Todd, R.C., Zhang, S., et al.cis-Diammine(pyridine)chloroplatinum(II), a monofunctional platinum(II) antitumor agent: Uptake, structure, function, and prospectsProc.

γ-Amanitin an ADC cytotoxin and isolated from the mushroom. γ-Amanitin inhibits RNA polymeraseII and disrupts synthesis of mRNA. γ-Amanitin shows similar effects to α-Amanitin and β-Amanitin.
ε-Amanitin is a cyclic peptide obtained from various mushroom species. It exhibits a strong affinity for RNA polymeraseII and effectively inhibits its activity.
Thio-ITP, also known as 6-Thioinosine 5'-triphosphate, is a competitive inhibitor of RNA polymerase activity. It exhibits a strong apparent affinity towards the polymerases, with Ki values of 40.9 μM for RNA polymerase I and 38.0 μM for RNA polymeraseII.
Pidnarulex HCl is the salt form of CX-5461, a first-in-class non-genotoxic small molecule targeted inhibitor of RNA polymerase I (Pol I) that activates the p53 pathway without causing DNA damage. CX-5461 selectively inhibits rRNA synthesis by Pol I in the nucleolus, but does not inhibit mRNA synthesis by RNA PolymeraseII (Pol II) and does not inhibit DNA replication or protein synthesis. Inhibition of Pol I results in nucleolar stress and release of ribosomal proteins (RP) from the nucleolus. The RP bind to Mdm2 and liberate p53 to orchestrate apoptosis in cancer cells. CX-5461 demonstrates a favorable preclinical profile, potently and selectively kills cancer cells, demonstrates robust in vivo efficacy in multiple models, and has demonstrated oral bioavailability in multiple species.
MFH290 is a novel cysteine (Cys)-directed covalent inhibitor of CDK12 13. MFH290 forms a covalent bond with Cys-1039 of CDK12, exhibits excellent kinome selectivity, inhibits the phosphorylation of serine-2 in the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA-polymeraseII (Pol II), and reduces the expression of key DNA damage repair genes. Importantly, these effects were demonstrated to be CDK12-dependent as mutation of Cys-1039 rendered the kinase refractory to MFH290 and restored Pol II CTD phosphorylation and DNA damage repair gene expression. Consistent with its effect on DNA damage repair gene expression, MFH290 augments the antiproliferative effect of the PARP inhibitor olaparib.
Epolactaene is a neuritogenic compound in human neuroblastoma cells which selectively inhibit the activities of mammalian DNA polymerases and human DNA topoisomerase II.
