Tasisulam (LY573636) is a SPLAM (SPLicing inhibitor sulfonAMide) that bridges RNA binding motif protein 39 (RBM39; CAPERα, HCC1) and DCAF15 for interaction, thereby promoting (CUL4-DDB1-DDA1-DCAF15) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex-mediated RBM39 ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Tasisulam exerts selective toxicity in parental HCT116 cancer cultures (IC50 = 6.5 μM), but not those harboring non-CUL4-DCAF15-associating RBM39 G268V mutant even at a high concentration of 50 μM.
Indisulam is an aryl sulfonamide drug with selective anticancer activity. Its mechanism of action and the basis for its selectivity have so far been unknown. Here we show that indisulam promotes the recruitment of RBM39 (RNA binding motif protein 39)

Cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) is involved in the biotransformation of many commonly used drugs, and significant drug interactions have been reported for CYP2C9 substrates. Previously published physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models of tolbutamide are based on an assumption that its metabolic
The investigational drugs E7820, indisulam and tasisulam (aryl-sulfonamides) promote the degradation of the splicing factor RBM39 in a proteasome-dependent mechanism. While the activity critically depends on the cullin RING ligase substrate receptor DCAF15, the molecular details remain elusive. Here we
LY573636-sodium is a promising anti-tumor agent, which causes growth arrest and apoptosis of a variety of human solid tumors in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, studies have shown that the compound is selectively toxic towards tumor cells over their normal

LY573636-sodium (tasisulam) is a small molecule antitumor agent with a novel mechanism of action currently being investigated in a variety of human cancers. In vitro, tasisulam induced apoptosis via the intrinsic pathway, resulting in cytochrome c release and caspase-dependent cell
