Biological Activity

[Description]:

Bizelesin (NSC 615291; U-77779) is an AT-specific DNA alkylating agent that can generate DNA interstrand crosslinks, effectively inhibit DNA replication, and has potential anticancer activity[1].

[In Vitro]

Bizelesin (0-5 μM, 4 h)可以通过靶向人类癌细胞 CEM 细胞中富含 AT的 DNA 域，造成 DNA 特异性损伤，进而造成癌细胞损伤，具有潜在的癌症治疗潜力[1]。 Bizelesin (0-500 nM)在 BSC-1 细胞中，当浓度为 10 nM 时导致 50% 的 DNA 合成抑制，相比之下，浓度为 160 nM 时才抑制 50% RNA 合成，而浓度高达至 200 nM 时也没有观察到蛋白质合成的抑制[2]。
