1H-1,2,3-Triazole-1-propanoic acid, 4-[[[2,6-bis[[[4-(2-aminoethoxy)-2-quinolinyl]amino]carbonyl]-4-pyridinyl]oxy]methyl]-

Uses

Carboxypyridostatin trifluoroacetate salt has been used in the study of translation, stimulated by DHX36 (DEAH-box helicase 36) binding at G-rich sites in mRNA untranslated regions.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Carboxypyridostatin (carboxyPDS) selectively stabilizes RNA-containg G-quadruplex stuctures. Immunofluorescent staining of carboxyPDS treated cells using an anti G-quadruplex antibody reveals staining only in the cytoplasm and not the nucleus, demonstrating selectivity against DNA G-quadruplex structures.
