apurinic

Methoxyamine HCl (Methoxyamine) covalently binds to apurinic apyrimidinic (AP) DNA damage sites and inhibits base excision repair (BER), which may result in an increase in DNA strand breaks and apoptosis. Methoxyamine is an orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitor with potential adjuvant activity. This agent may potentiate the anti-tumor activity of alkylating agents.

It is an inhibitor of the Human Apurinic apyrimidinic Endonuclease 1 (APE1)

Hycanthone (Etrenol(mesylate)) is a potent drug of antischistosomal. Hycanthone is a DNA intercalator that inhibits RNA synthesis and DNA topoisomerases I and II. Hycanthone inhibits nucleic acid biosynthesis and inhibits APE1 via direct protein binding(KD: 10 nM).

Lucanthone (Lucanthonum) is an inhibitor of Apurinic endonuclease-1 (APE-1).

APE1-IN-2 (compound AP1), a Pt(IV) proagent, selectively targets the essential base excision repair protein apurinic apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1). Exhibiting anticancer properties, APE1-IN-2 prompts the intracellular accumulation of platinum and initiates the activation of DNA damage response and apoptosis pathways [1].
