6-Aminophenanthridine inhibits the protein folding activity of the ribosome (PFAR). 6-Aminophenanthridine competitively occludes the protein substrates from binding to rRNA and thereby inhibits PFAR[1].

6-Aminophenanthridine selectively inhibits protein folding activity of the ribosome (PFAR). Apparently 6-Aminophenanthridine interacts with the ribosome domain V rRNA and the protein substrate. 6-Aminophenanthridine is an antiprion compound th at promotes mammalian prion clearance.
