Description: | O6-Benzylguanine, a guanine analog, is the DNA repair enzyme O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (MGMT/AGT) inhibitor. O6-Benzylguanine acts as an AGT substrate, which transfers its benzyl group to the AGT cysteine residue, thereby irreversibly inactivating AGT and preventing DNA repair. O6-Benzylguanine induces tumor cell apoptosis. Antineoplastic activity[1][2]. |
In Vivo: | O6-Benzylguanine (100 μg; i.p.; daily for 35 days) inhibits pancreatic cancer cell growth and increases pancreatic cell sensitivity to Gemcitabine (100 mg/kg)[2]. O6-Benzylguanine inhibits pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and induces tumor cell apoptosis in vivo[2]. Animal Model: Male athymic nude mice (NCI-nu) (bearing human pancreatic cancer L3.6pl cells)[2] Dosage: 100 μg Administration: i.p; daily for 35 days Result: Significantly decreased median tumor volume and weight. |
