Pi. Bauer et al., REVERSION OF MALIGNANT PHENOTYPE BY 5-IODO-6-AMINO-1,2-BENZOPYRONE A NONCOVALENTLY BINDING LIGAND OF POLY(ADP-RIBOSE) POLYMERASE, Biochimie, 77(5), 1995, pp. 374-377
A non-covalently binding inhibitory ligand of poly(ADP-ribose) polymer
ase, 5-iodo-6-amino-1,2-benzopyrone, when incubated at 5600 mu M exter
nal concentration with an E-ras transformed tumorigenic cell line or w
ith human prostatic carcinoma cells for 40 to 60 days converts both ca
ncer cells to a non-tumorigenic phenotype that is characterized by dra
stic changes in cell morphology, absence of tumorigenicity in nude mic
e, and a high rate of aerobic glycolysis.
