Description

BMH-21 is a first-in-class DNA intercalator which inhibits RNA polymerase I (Pol I) transcription. BMH-21 possesses anticancer activity[1][2].

IC50 & Target
In Vitro

BMH-21 binds ribosomal DNA and inhibits Pol I transcription[1].
? BMH-21 inhibits RNA polymerase I independent of DNA damage response[1].
? BMH-21 intercalates into double strand (ds) DNA and has binding preference towards GC-rich DNA sequences[1].
? BMH-21 (1 μM; 3 hours) acts in a DNA damage independent manner to activate nucleolar stress and RPA194 degradation[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: U2OS cells
Concentration: 0 μM, 0.1 μM , 1 μM, 10 μM
Incubation Time: 48 hours
Result: Decreased the viability of cells at concentrations that activated the DNA damage response.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: A375 cells
Concentration: 1 μM
Incubation Time: 3 hours
Result: Degraded RPA194 with blocked ATM and DNA-PKcs activity.
In Vivo

BMH-21 (50 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; for 6 days) inhibits HCT116 colon cancer tumor growth in vivo[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: 6-week old athymic NCr nu/nu mice, with HCT116 colorectal carcinoma xenograft[2]
Dosage: 50 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection, daily, for 6 days
Result: Significantly inhibited HCT116 colon cancer tumor growth.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
