| Description | DRB (53-85-0) is a classic inhibitor of transcription by RNA polymerase II.?A relatively selective inhibitor of Cdk9 (IC50=3 μM), the kinase of the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEF-b) required for processive transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II.1,2?Also inhibits casein kinase II, IC50=4-10 μM.?3?Suppresses the SIRT1/CK2α pathway and enhances the radiosensitivity of human cancer cells.4?Kinase-independent activities of Cdk9 such as glucocorticoid receptor modulation are not inhibited by DRB.5 | | Chemical Properties | White Solid | | Uses | 5,6-Dichlorobenzimidazole 1-β-D-ribofuranoside has been used:
- as an inhibitor of RNA polymerase II in mouse melanoma cells
- for the inhibition of cyclin D1 mRNA synthesis in human prostate epithelial cell lines
- in the inhibition of interleukin-2 gene transcription in Jurkat cells
| | Uses | DRB is an inhibitor of RNA synthesis (causes premature termination of transcription).
| | Uses | Inhibits casein kinase II and blocks RNA synthesis. An adenosine analog.5,6-Dichlorobenzimidazole riboside is used as an inhibitor of RNA Polymerase II. It is nucleoside analogue and used in research to study the mechanisms of cellular regulation. Further, it inhibits some protein kinases. | | Biochem/physiol Actions | 5,6-Dichlorobenzimidazole 1-β-D-ribofuranoside (DRB), a nucleoside analog that halts mRNA synthesis by phosphorylation of the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II, making it inactive. It also interferes with the DNA topoisomerase II, may modulate response to cytokines and blocks the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) via RNA modification. It also inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) 7 and 9 and favors apoptosis in leukemic cells. It may serve as a therapeutic agent in treating cancer. | | References | 1) Baumli?et al.?(2010),?Halogen bonds form the basis for selective P-TEFb inhibition by DRB; Chem. Biol.,?17?931
