(E)-6-amino-5-(benzylideneamino)-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydropyrimidin-4(1H)-one

BeschreibungL189 is a competitive inhibitor of DNA ligases I, III, and IV (IC50s = 5, 9, and 5 μM, respectively). It blocks DNA binding (Ki = 5 μM for DNA ligase I), increasing the cytotoxicity of DNA-damaging agents, including ionizing radiation. L189 preferentially inhibits the interaction of the ligase with damaged DNA, inhibiting base excision repair and non-homologous end-joining.

VerwendenL189 has been shown to inhibit DNA ligases I, III, and IV and may have potential use in the development of anticancer agents.
