Biological Activity
AMA-37, an Arylmorpholine analog, is ATP-competitive DNA-PK inhibitor, with IC50 values of 0.27 μM (DNA-PK), 32 μM (p110α), 3.7 μM (p110β), and 22 μM (p110γ), respectively[1][2].
AMA-37 inhbits PI3K poorly[2].AMA-37 (20 μM) reduces the ability of UCN-01, isogranulatimide, and debromohymenialdesine, but not caffeine, to overcome G2 arrest (Ρ < 0.05)[3].Inhibition of DNA-PK with AMA37 leads to radiosensitization[3].
