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.

体外研究(In Vitro)
The L3.6pl cells are relatively sensitive to O6-Benzylguanine (24-72 hours) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The IC50 is 50 μg (at 48 hours).
O6-Benzylguanine (50 μg; 48 hours) modulates p53 downstream target protein expression, induces apoptosis, and decreases cell proliferation.
O6-Benzylguanine (50 μg; 48 hours) significantly decreases the MGMT transcriptional activity in L3.6pl.

Western Blot Analysis
Cell Line:
L3.6pl and PANC1 cells
Concentration:
50 μg
Incubation Time:
48 hours
Result:
Expressions of O6 methyl guanine DNA methyl transferase (MGMT), cyclin B1, cyclin B2, cyclin A, p53, and ki-67 were decreased, whereas p21 was increased. The levels of cyto C and caspase 9 were increased, whereas the levels of PARP1 protein were decreased.
