CAY10760 is an inhibitor of the protein-proteininteraction between RAD51 recombinase and BRCA2 (EC50= 19 μM in a cell-free competitive ELISA).1It decreases homologous recombination by 54% in wild-typeBRCA2-expressing BxPC-3 pancreatic cancer cells when used at a concentration of 20 μM. CAY10760 (20 μM) decreases proliferation of BxPC-3, as well as mutantBRCA2-expressing Capan-1, cancer cells when used alone or in combination with the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor olaparib . 1.Bagnolini, G., Milano, D., Manerba, M., et al.Synthetic lethality in pancreatic cancer: Discovery of a new RAD51-BRCA2 small molecule disruptor that inhibits homologous recombination and synergizes with olaparibJ.

Halenaquinone is a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor. Halenaquinone specifically inhibits the secondary DNA binding of RAD51. Halenaquinone inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. Halenaquinone induces apoptosis in PC12 cells.
