General description

BMH-21 is a planar heterocyclic small molecule DNA intercalator.

Application

BMH-21 has been used in cell culture.

Biochem/physiol Actions

BMH-21 has the ability to bind ribosomal DNA and prevent RNA polymerase I (Pol I) transcription and results in the disintegration of the nucleolus. It does not impair DNA damage detection. BMH-21 is considered as an important activator of the p53 pathway.
BMH-21 is a potent inhibitor of RNA Pol I. BMH-21 binds strongly to GC-rich DNA sequences, ultimately inhibiting RNA Pol I, blocking transcription and disrupting the nucleolar structure. BMH-1 causes dissociation of the RPA194 catalytic subunit from Pol I, and disassembly of Pol I:DNA complexes. The compound BMH-21 inhibits proliferation of a broad range of tumor cell lines.

Nucleoli are dynamic nuclear condensates in eukaryotic cells that originate through ribosome biogenesis at loci that harbor the ribosomal DNA. These loci are known as nucleolar organizer regions (NORs), and there are 10 in a human diploid genome. While there

Eukaryotic initiation factor 4A-III (eIF4A3), a core helicase component of the exon junction complex, is essential for splicing, mRNA trafficking, and nonsense-mediated decay processes emerging as targets in cancer therapy. Here, we unravel eIF4A3's tumor-promoting function by demonstrating its role
