Oncrasin-1

Oncrasin-1 is an RNA polymerase inhibitor. Oncrasin-1 suppresses the phosphorylation of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II and the expression of intronless reporter genes in sensitive cells. Oncrasin-1 effectively kills various human lung cancer cells with K-Ras mutations. Oncrasin-1 leads to coaggregation of PKCι and splicing factors into megaspliceosomes. Oncrasin-1 induces malfunction in the RNA processing machinery. Oncrasin-1 is an anti-cancer agent and can therefore be studied in research for lung cancer[1][2].
