EC50 = 20 nM.1?Reduces ischemia reperfusion injury in a mouse model.2 Displays anti-inflammatory effects in a transient focal cerebral ischemia mouse model.3 PJ-34 HCl causes PARP1 independent, p21 dependent mitotic arrest.4
Uses
A poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase inhibitor, attenuates chromate-induced nephrotoxicity.
east cancer MCF-7.
Definition
ChEBI: PJ34 hydrochloride is a hydrochloride salt prepared from equimolar amounts of PJ34 and hydrochloric acid. It has a role as an angiogenesis inhibitor, an anti-inflammatory agent, an antiatherosclerotic agent, an antineoplastic agent, an apoptosis inducer, a cardioprotective agent, an EC 2.4.2.30 (NAD(+) ADP-ribosyltransferase) inhibitor and a neuroprotective agent. It contains a PJ34(1+).
General Description
A cell-permeable, water-soluble phenanthridinone-derivative that acts as a potent inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP; EC50 = 20 nM). Shown to be about 10,000 times more potent than the prototypical PARP inhibitor, 3-Aminobenzamide (Cat. No. 165350; EC50 = 200 μM). Does not act as an antioxidant at higher concentrations (1 μM to 10 mM). Exhibits neuroprotection in in vivo and in vitro models of stroke. Also available as a 20 mM solution in H2O(Cat. No. 528151).
Biological Activity
Potent inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) (EC 50 = 20 nM). ~ 1000-fold more potent than 3-Aminobenzamide . Protects primary neuronal cells from oxygen-glucose deprivation in vitro and reduces infarct size following focal cerebral ischemia in vivo .
Biochem/physiol Actions
