Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Oncrasin-1 is an antitumor agent. Oncrasin-1 acts by inducing abnormal nuclear aggregation of PKC1 and suppressing RNA transcription. Oncrasin-1 was identified from a screen of KRAS mutant cancer cells and has shown specificity for KRAS mutant cell killing.

Product Data
Biological target:
Oncrasin-1 is an antitumor agent.
In vitro activity:
Results showed that oncrasin-1 treatment led to coaggregation of PKCiota and splicing factors into megaspliceosomes but had no obvious effects on the DNA repair molecule Rad51. Moreover, oncrasin-1 treatment suppressed the phosphorylation of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II and the expression of intronless reporter genes in sensitive cells but not in resistant cells, suggesting that suppression of RNA transcription is a major effect of oncrasin-1 treatment. Studies with cultured cells or with recombinant proteins showed that oncrasin-1 can disrupt the interaction of PKCiota and cyclin-dependent protein kinase 9/cyclin T1 complex, which is known to phosphorylate the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II and is required for RNA transcription. Reference: J Med Chem. 2011 Apr 28;54(8):2668-79. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19208825/
In vivo activity:
The results showed that, in comparison with solvent, oncrasin-1 suppressed tumor growth by 75.4% (Fig. 6A). Treatment with oncrasin-1 also prolonged survival (Fig. 6B): the mean survival times for mice treated with solvent and oncrasin-1 were 24 and 32, respectively.
