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 polymerase II.
Ansatrienin B is an ansamycin antibiotic and antifungal agent first isolated from S. collinus and S. rishiriensis., In fetal rat long bones, it is an inhibitor of parathyroid hormone-induced calcium release (IC50 = 21 nM), which is a measure of bone resorption, and pp60c-src kinase (IC50 = 50 nM). It is an inhibitor of translation at the protein synthesis stage by specific inhibition of L-leucine incorporation (IC50 = 58 nM in A549 cells). It also inhibits TNF-α-induced expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1; IC50 = 300 nM). Early in vitro studies showed that ansatrienin B potentiates the chemotherapeutic action of 5-fluorouracil , cisplatin , bleomycin , mitomycin C , and 6-mercaptopurine. Ansatrienin B is a hydroquinone form of ansatrienin A .
Ansatrienin A is an ansamycin antibiotic and antifungal agent first isolated from S. collinus and S. rishiriensis. In fetal rat long bones, it is an inhibitor of parathyroid hormone-induced calcium release (IC50 = 64 nM), which is a measure of bone resorption, and pp60c-srcM kinase (IC50 = 100 nM). It also inhibits TNF-α-induced expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1; IC50 = 570 nM). Early in vitro studies showed that ansatrienin A potentiates the chemotherapeutic action of 5-fluorouracil , cisplatin , bleomycin , mitomycin C , and 6-mercaptopurine. It is an oxidized form of ansatrienin B .
Azathioprine Sodium is the sodium salt form of azathioprine, a pro-drug of purine analogue with immunosuppressive activity. Azathioprine is converted in vivo to its active metabolite 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), which substitutes for the normal nucleoside and mistakenly gets incorporated into DNA sequences. This leads to inhibition of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. As a result, cell proliferation may be inhibited, particularly in lymphocytes and leukocytes.
