3-Amino-6-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-N-phenyl-2-pyrazinecarboxamide Usage And Synthesis

Description

Ataxia-telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATR) is a serine/threonine kinase that activates DNA processes related to the DNA damage response. VE-821 is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of ATR (IC₅₀ = 26 nM). It augments DNA damage and cell death of cancer cells in response to radiation under normal and hypoxic conditions. VE-821 also sensitizes cancer cells to chemotherapy.

Chemical Properties

Bright Yellow Solid

Uses

VE-821 has been used as an inhibitor of ATM- and Rad3-related (ATR) protein in human cancer cells.

Uses

VE 821 is a potent and selective inhibitor of DNA damage response kinase, ATR. VE 821 functions to disrupt DNA damage repair system of tumor cells, limiting their abilities for further growth.

Definition

ChEBI: 3-amino-6-(4-methylsulfonylphenyl)-N-phenyl-2-pyrazinecarboxamide is an aromatic amide.

Biochem/physiol Actions

VE-821 is a potent ATP-competitive inhibitor of the DNA damage response (DDR) kinase Ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) and ATM- and Rad3-related (ATR) with a Ki of 13 nM. VE-821 has minimal cross-reactivity against the related PIKKs ATM, DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), mTOR and PI3-kinase-γ (Ki of 16 μM, 2.2 μM, >1 μM and 3.9 μM, respectively) and against a large panel of unrelated protein kinases. VE-821 used alone caused death in a large fraction of cancer cell populations and also showed strong synergy with genotoxic agents. VE-821 increased sensitivity of cells to radiation and also sensitized cancer cells to a variety of chemotherapeutic agents.

storage

Store at -20°C
