    Product Description

    ATX968 is an inhibitor of DEAD-box helicase 9 (DDX9; IC50 = 8 nM for helicase activity).1 It is selective for DDX9 over DDX36, Brahma homolog (BRM), also known as SMARCA2, and Werner syndrome protein (WRN; IC50s = >10, >10, and >100 µM, respectively), as well as a panel of 96 kinases at 10 µM but does inhibit dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1B (DYRK1B). ATX968 (1 µM) selectively induces unresolved nuclear R-loop accumulation in microsatellite instable-high with deficient mismatch repair (MSI-H/dMMR) LS411N colorectal carcinoma cells over microsatellite-stable with proficient mismatch repair (MSS/pMMR) NCI H747 colorectal carcinoma cells. It induces tumor regression in an LS411N mouse xenograft model when administered at a dose of 300 mg/kg.
