Furamidine dihydrochloride
Based on 4 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Furamidine dihydrochloride (DB75 dihydrochloride) is a selective protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) inhibitor with an IC50 of 9.4 μM. Furamidine dihydrochloride is selective for PRMT1 over PRMT5, PRMT6, and PRMT4 (CARM1) (IC50s of 166 µM, 283 µM, and >400 µM, respectively). Furamidine dihydrochloride is a potent, reversible and competitive tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP-1) inhibitor. Inhibition of TDP-1 by Furamidine dihydrochloride is effective both with single- and double-stranded DNA substrates but is slightly stronger with the duplex DNA. Furamidine dihydrochloride is also an antiparasite agent.

Furamidine (compound 1; 20 μM; 72 hours; leukemia cell lines) dihydrochloride inhibits cell growth for most of the leukemia cell lines except HEL cells which have JAK2V617F mutations[1].
?
Furamidine (compound 1; 20 μM; 15 hours; 293T cells) dihydrochloride significantly reduces the expression level of the methylated GFP-ALY protein in 293T cells[1].
?
Furamidine dihydrochloride can also intercalate between GC base pairs of duplex DNA. Furamidine dihydrochloride could therefore interfere with DNA processing enzymes such as TDP-1[2].
