    Product Description

    NSC 617145 is an inhibitor of WRN helicase (IC50 = 230 nM) that inhibits the ATPase, but not exonuclease, activity of WRN helicase in a concentration-dependent manner.1 It is selective for WRN over BLM, FANCJ, ChlR1, RecQ, and UvrD helicases, only exhibiting 7% inhibition of RECQ1 at a concentration of 5 µM. NSC 617145 inhibits growth of HeLa cells via formation of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and induction of apoptosis in a WRN helicase-dependent manner. NSC 617145 also acts synergistically with mitomycin C (Item No. 11435) to inhibit growth as well as induce DSBs and chromosomal abnormalities in Fanconia-anemia deficient (FA-D2-/-) cells.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
