RI-1
RI-1 (CAS: 415713-60-9) is a small molecule inhibitor targeting RAD51, a protein essential for homologous recombination and DNA repair in eukaryotic cells. RI-1 acts by forming a covalent bond with cysteine 319 on the surface of RAD51, disrupting the protein-protein interfaces required for filament formation and recombinase activity. In vitro, RI-1 inhibits RAD51 function with IC50 values ranging from 5 to 30 μM, impeding the assembly of RAD51 foci following DNA damage and sensitizing tumor cells to DNA crosslinking agents. Due to its activity in various human cancer cell lines, RI-1 is a valuable tool for studying RAD51-mediated DNA repair pathways in preclinical research.
