A Novel Inhibitor of DNA Polymerase β Enhances the Ability of Temozolomide to Impair the Growth of Colon Cancer Cells
8 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
The recent emerging concept to sensitize cancer cells to DNA-alkylating drugs is by inhibiting various proteins in the base excision repair (BER) pathway. In the present study, we used structure-based molecular docking of DNA polymerase beta (Pol-beta) and identified a potent small molecular weight inhibitor, NSC-666715. We determined the specificity of this small molecular weight inhibitor for Pol-beta by using...
