(±) -Dehydroaltenusin
(±) -Dehydroaltenusin, an antibiotic, is a selective eukaryotic DNA polymerase α (pol α) inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.68 μM. (±) -Dehydroaltenusin can be isolated from fungus Alternaria tenuis. (±) -Dehydroaltenusin competitively inhibits the DNA template primer (Ki: 0.23 μM) and non-competitively suppresses the 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate substrate (Ki: 0.18 μM) . (±) -Dehydroaltenusin induces the cancer cell S-phase cycle arrest and apoptosis. (±) -Dehydroaltenusin can be used for cancers like human adenocarcinoma research[1].
