| Bioactivity | Nanaomycin A is the first selective DNMT3B inhibitor with an IC50 of 500 nM. Nanaomycin A, a quinone antibiotics, reactivates silenced tumor suppressor genes in human cancer cells[1]. Nanaomycin A inhibits in vitro growth of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum with an IC80 value of 33.1 nM[2]. | |||||||||
| Invitro | Nanaomycin A (10-10000 nM; 72 hours) has a distinct cytotoxic effect in all three cell lines[1]. Nanaomycin A (0.5, 5 μM; 72 hours) reveals induction of RASSF1A protein expression in A549 cells[1]. Nanaomycin A (5 μM; 72 hours) has an 18-fold relative induction[1]. Nanaomycin A not affects the enzymatic activity of DNMT1[1]. Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[1] Cell Line: | |||||||||
