3,11-Difluoro-6,8,13-trimethyl-8H-quino[4,3,2-kl]acridinium Methyl Sulfate is a G-quadruplex-stabilizing telomerase inhibitor (1). Telomerase inhibitors has been implicated as potential cancer specific therapy to disrupt DNA stability in tumor cells(2). Inhibiting telomerase activity can shorten telomere length, which may result in senescence or apoptosis. | [Biological Activity]
rhps4 is a telomerase inhibitor.the protection of chromosome termini, degradation and recombination is regulated by the telomeres. a recent model proposes that telomeres can form a cap at the chromosome end. thus, the telomere cap integrity should be intact to allow cell division to proceed. | [in vitro]
it was found that the treatment rhps4 to uxf1138l cells led to the displacement of the telomerase catalytic subunit (htert) from the nucleus, induction of telomere-initiated dna-damage signalling as well as chromosome fusions. it was further reported that rhps4 was more potent over cancer cells growing as colonies than cells growing as monolayers. in addition, the forming units of human cord blood and hek293t embryonic kidney cell colony were more resistant to rhps4 [1]. | [in vivo]
animal study found that, compared with controls, rhps4-treated uxf1138l xenografts had a decreased clonogenicity, loss of nuclear htert expression and an induction of mitotic abnormalities. though rhps4 alone showed limited in vivo efficacy, a combination treatment with the mitotic spindle poison taxol resulted in tumour remissions and further enhancement of telomere dysfunction [1]. | [IC 50]
