General description
A cell-permeable polyanionic, polyaromatic compound used as a powerful inhibitor of cellular processes that are dependent on the formation of protein-nucleic acid complexes. Binds to aFGF and reduces its angiogenic activity. Shown to inhibit apoptotic cell death in various cell types induced by a variety of factors. ATA is a potent inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase II (IC50= 75 nM for the yeast enzyme as measured by relaxation assays) that also acts as a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis. Inhibits von Willebrand factor binding to platelets and reduces glutamate-induced neuronal injury. ATA stimulates the tyrosine phosphorylation of MAP kinases, Shc proteins, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and phospholipase Cγ. Inhibits both major calpain isoforms (IC50 = 22 µM and IC50 = 10 µM for µ-calpain and m-calpain, respectively).

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive neurodegeneration, but the specific events that cause cell death remain poorly understood. Death Induced by Survival gene Elimination (DISE) is a cell death mechanism mediated by short (s) RNAs acting through the RNA-induced

ATR kinase is a central regulator of the DNA damage response (DDR) and cell cycle checkpoints. ATR kinase inhibitors (ATRi's) combine with radiation to generate CD8+ T cell-dependent responses in mouse models of cancer. We show that ATRi's induce cyclin-dependent kinase

Drechmeria coniospora is a nematophagous fungus and potential biocontrol agent. It belongs to the Ascomycota. It is related to Hirsutella minnesotensis, another nematophagous fungus but, phylogenetically, it is currently closest to the truffle parasite Tolypocladium ophioglossoides. Together with its natural
