Description: |
KU-57788 is a potent and selective inhibitor of DNA-PK with an IC50 of 13 nM, with selectivity over a range of kinases including mTOR, PI 3-K, ATM and ATR. |
In Vivo: |
lung cancer cells irradiated with low-LET and high-LET radiation, and does not show double strand break-repair inhibition in irradiated cells. KU-57788 (3 μM) shows significantly increased persistent γ-H2AX signals. KU-57788 (0.3 μM) causes significant G2/M arrest and a remarkable increase of DNA fragmentation and enhances cellular senescence in irradiated H1299 cells[1]. KU-57788 (0.5 to 10 µM) inhibits the growth of liver cancer HepG2 cells dose- and time-dependently. KU-57788 reduces pDNA-PKcs (S2056) protein expression in liver cancer cells. Furthermore, double treatment of KU-57788 and 60Coγ IR affects DNA damage repair[2]. KU-57788 weakly inhibits BRD4 and BRDT with IC50s of 1 μM and 3.5 μM, respectively. KU-57788 is solvent-exposed in BRD4, this inhibitor can be classified as a Type I BRD inhibitor[4]. KU-57788 reduces the frequency of NHEJ while increasing the rate of HDR following Cas9-mediated DNA cleavage[5]. |
In Vitro: |
NU7441 at non-toxic concentration of 0.3 μM induces radio-sensitization in non-small cell lung cancer cells irradiated with low-LET and high-LET radiation, and does not show double strand break-repair inhibition in irradiated cells.
