CX 5461
- Soluble in 0.1N HCl(aq)
- MF: C27H27N7O2S
- MW: 513.61
Description
CX 5461 is a selective inhibitor of RNA polymerase I transcription with a reported IC50 value of 0.88 µM and approximately 200-fold selectivity over RNA polymerase II. It inhibits rDNA transcription and activates p53-dependent apoptosis in susceptible tumor cells.
RNA polymerase I drives ribosomal RNA synthesis, a process frequently upregulated in rapidly proliferating cancer cells. CX 5461 is relevant for nucleolar stress research, ribosome biogenesis inhibition and hematologic tumor models.
Key Features
- Selective RNA polymerase I transcription inhibitor
- Suppresses rRNA/rDNA transcription
- Shows selectivity over RNA polymerase II
- Activates p53-dependent tumor cell apoptosis
Applications
- RNA Pol I transcription assays
- Nucleolar stress research
- Ribosome biogenesis studies
- Hematologic cancer model profiling
