Flap endonuclease-1 (FEN1) is a key enzyme involved in base excision repair (BER), a primary pathway utilized by mammalian cells to repair DNA damage. Sensitization to DNA damaging agents is a potential method for the improvement of the therapeutic window of traditional chemotherapeutics. In this paper, we describe the identification and SAR of a series of low nanomolar FEN1 inhibitors. Over 1000-fold specificity was achieved against a related endonuclease, xeroderma pigmentosum G (XPG). Two compounds from this series significantly potentiate the action of methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) and temozolamide in a bladder cancer cell line (T24). To our knowledge, these are the most potent endonuclease inhibitors reported to date.
瓣内切核酸酶-1(FEN1)是参与碱基切除修复(BER)的关键酶,BER是哺乳动物细胞用于修复DNA损伤的主要途径。对DNA损伤剂敏感是改善传统化疗药物治疗窗口的一种潜在方法。在本文中,我们描述了一系列低纳摩尔FEN1抑制剂的鉴定和构效关系。对相关内切核酸酶——着色性干皮病G(XPG)实现了超过1000倍的特异性。该系列中的两种化合物在膀胱癌细胞系(T24)中显著增强了甲磺酸甲酯(MMS)和替莫唑胺的作用。据我们所知,这些是迄今为止报道的最有效的内切核酸酶抑制剂。
