BMH-21 is a first-in-class DNA intercalator that binds to high-frequency GC-rich sequences in ribosomal DNA genes and can effectively and rapidly inhibit the transcription of RNA polymerase I (Pol I), leading to degradation of the Pol I catalytic subunit RPA194 and non-phosphorylation of histone H2AX. H2AX is not phosphorylated.BMH-21 has broad and potent antitumor activity in NCI60 cancer cell line and inhibits tumor growth in vivo.

| Mizoribine
Mizoribine (Bredinin) is an imidazole nucleoside and an immunosuppressive agent with an IC50 of approximately 100 μM. Mizoribine inhibits replication of SARS-CoV with IC50s of 3.5 μg/mL and 16 μg/mL for SARS-CoV Frankfurt-1 and SARS-CoV HKU39849, respectively. |
| Capecitabine
Capecitabine is an orally-administered chemotherapeutic agent. Capecitabine is a precursor, that is enzymatically converted to 5-fluorouracil in the tumor, where it inhibits DNA synthesis and slows growth of tumor tissue. Capecitabine may inhibit cytochrome CYP2C9 enzyme, and therefore increase levels of substrates such as phenytoin and other substrates of CYP2C9. |
