Application

NF 023 hydrate has been used as an inhibitor of methyltransferases. It has also been used to test its inhibitory effect on human adenovirus type-37 (HAdV-D37) viral infection in human corneal epithelial (HCE) cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

NF 023 contains six benzene rings and is a suramin analog. It is a potent, competitive, and selective P2X purinoceptor antagonist that aids in discriminating between P2X receptor subtypes.

The suramin analogue 8,8'-(carbonylbis(imino-3,1-phenylene carbonylimino)bis(1,3,5-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid) (NF023) antagonizes in a competitive fashion P2X receptor-mediated responses in certain vascular and visceral smooth muscles. In the present study, the effect of NF023 on voltage-clamped Xenopus oocytes heterologously expressing homomultimeric P2X1-P2X4 as well

Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) is a severe ocular disease and can lead to visual impairment. Human adenovirus type-37 (HAdV-D37) is one of the major causative agents of EKC and uses sialic acid (SA)-containing glycans as cellular receptors. Currently, there are no

Protein methyltransferases (PMTs) orchestrate epigenetic modifications through post-translational methylation of various protein substrates including histones. Since dysregulation of this process is widely implicated in many cancers, it is of pertinent interest to screen inhibitors of PMTs, as they offer novel
