Pyridostatin
Pyridostatin (CAS No. 1085412-37-8) is a synthetic G‑quadruplex stabilizer that can accommodate the dynamic and structurally diverse nature of G‑quadruplexes. Pyridostatin competitively binds against telomere‑associated proteins and induces telomere dysfunction.
The free‑base form of this product is highly unstable and readily degrades, so in experimental settings it is commonly used in the form of its TFA salt, Pyridostatin TFA (Catalog No.: A9061, CAS No.: 1472611‑44‑1).

Applications |
A previous study investigated the growth inhibition after 3 days of exposure to pyridostatin on a panel of four human cell lines: HeLa (adenocarcinoma), HT1080 (fibrosarcoma), U2OS (osteosarcoma), and WI-38 (normal lung fibroblasts), the latter being non-cancerous. Pyridostatin showed growth inhibition at high nanomolar to low micromolar concentrations against these tested cell lines. In addition, pyridostatin exhibited an 18.5-fold selectivity for HT1080 cells over WI-38 cells. |
