Description
An APE1/Ref-1 redox activity inhibitor; inhibits APE1-mediated AP-1 DNA binding activity (IC50 = 6.5 µM in a redox EMSA) but has no effect on APE1 DNA repair activity in endonuclease or gap-filling assays from 0.01-50 µM; reduces activation of NF-κB, AP-1, and HIF-1 in reporter assays using PANC-1 cells; inhibits proliferation of PaCa-2 and PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells (EC50s = 135 and 87 µM, respectively); inhibits tumor growth in a PaCa-2 mouse xenograft model and pancreatic cancer PDX mouse models at 25 mg/kg
