Bulk Inquiry
SCR7 pyrazine
- Soluble in DMSO
- MF: C18H12N4OS
- MW: 332.38
Description
SCR7 pyrazine is a pyrazine analog of SCR7 reported to inhibit DNA ligase IV-mediated non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). It has been used to increase homology-directed repair outcomes in genome-editing workflows.
DNA ligase IV is essential for canonical NHEJ repair of double-strand breaks. SCR7 pyrazine is useful for studying DNA repair pathway choice and CRISPR/Cas9 editing enhancement, although results should be interpreted with assay-specific controls because SCR7 activity has shown context dependence.
Key Features
- Reported DNA ligase IV/NHEJ inhibitor
- Modulates double-strand break repair pathway choice
- Used to enhance homology-directed repair in CRISPR workflows
- Useful for DNA repair pharmacology with appropriate controls
Applications
- NHEJ and DNA repair pathway studies
- CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing optimization
- Homology-directed repair assays
- DNA ligase IV pharmacology
