telomerase reverse transcriptase

Zidovudine (ZDV) is a synthetic dideoxynucleoside. After intracellular phosphorylation to its active metabolite, zidovudine inhibits DNA polymerase, resulting in the inhibition of DNA replication and cell death. This agent also decreases levels of available pyrimidines.

Adefovir is an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate that acts as a reverse transcriptase inhibitor used for treatment of hepatitis B and herpes simplex virus infection.

Abacavir sulfate (Ziagen) , a nucleoside analogue, effectively utilize its antiviral activity

TAC (TERT activator compound) is a TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase) activator that enhances TERT transcriptional activity through the MEK/ERK/AP-1 cascade pathway, promotes telomere synthesis in primary human cells and naturally aged mice, reduces cellular senescence and inflammatory cytokines, and alleviates neuroinflammation, among other effects.

TERT activator-2 (Compound 1030) is an activator of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), which enhances the expression levels of TERT within cells. TERT activator-2 is applicable to research related to cellular lifespan and telomere functions.

β-Rubromycin is a bacterial metabolite originally isolated from Streptomyces that has diverse biological activities.1 It inhibits the growth of HMO2, KATO-III, and MCF-7 cells with GI50 values of 0.5, 0.84, and <0.1 μM, respectively. β-rubromycin inhibits HIV-1 reverse transcriptase activity by 39.7% when used at a concentration of 10 μM. It also has antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The structure of β-rubromycin was originally described as containing an ortho-quinone group, but it was revised to a para-quinone group in 2000 using organic and biosynthetic methods, as well as spectroscopic analysis.1,2,3References1.

Abacavir monosulfate is an orally active, competitive nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that effectively inhibits HIV replication. Additionally, it exhibits anticancer properties in prostate cancer cell lines, and has the ability to penetrate the blood-brain-barrier and suppress telomerase activity [1] [2] [3].

Hypericin (Cyclosan) is a natural anthraquinone compound, an extract of Hypericum perforatum, which inhibits PKC, MAO, dopamine-beta-hydroxylase, reverse transcriptase, telomerase, and CYP, etc. Hypericin exhibits antimicrobial, antiviral, antitumor, and antidepressant activities.

Tertomotide (GV1001) hydrochloride is a peptide vaccine composed of a 16-amino acid sequence from human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). It exhibits neuroprotective properties and has potential for research in Alzheimer's disease.
