Nonhomologous DNA end joining ( NHEJ ) is the major double‐strand break DSB repair pathway in mammals. Previously, we have described a small molecule inhibitor, SCR 7, which can inhibit Ligase IV ‐dependent manner. Administration of 7 within cells resulted accumulation breaks, cell death, and inhibition tumor growth mice. In present study, report that parental unstable, be autocyclized into stable form. Both cyclized possess same molecular weight (334.09) formula (C 18 H 14 N 4 OS ), whereas...

5,6-Bis(benzylideneamino)-2-mercaptopyrimidin-4-ol (SCR7) is a new anti cancer molecule having capability to selectively inhibit non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), one of the DNA double strand break (DSB) repair pathways inside cells. In spite promising potential as an anticancer agent, hydrophobicity SCR7 decreases its bioavailability. Herein entrapment in Pluronic copolymer reported. The size aggregates was determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering...

Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) has been emerged as an effective method to silence a particular gene utilizing sequence‐specific mechanism for regulation. It induces target mRNA degradation leading lower illness‐inducing product. RNAi represent conserved mechanism. Novel concept of highly specific silencing genes was revolutionized by the introduction short interfering (siRNA).This helped overcome drawbacks and proved out be safer efficient than its counterpart finding way into...

Nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) inside cells can be selectively inhibited by 5,6-bis-(benzylideneamino)-2-mercaptopyrimidin-4-ol (SCR7) which possesses anticancer properties. The hydrophobicity SCR7 decreases its bioavailability is a major setback in the utilization this compound as therapeutic agent. In order to circumvent drawback SCR7, we prepared polymer encapsulated form SCR7. physical interaction and Pluronic® copolymer evident from different...

Many eukaryotic proteins are modified with a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor at their C-termini. This post-translational modification causes these to be noncovalently tethered the plasma membrane. The synthesis of truncated GPI analogues is reported; compounds were designed for use as soluble substrates transamidase (GPI-T), enzyme that appends onto proteins.
