| Application: | O6-Benzylguanine has been used: • as an inhibitor of methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) in glioblastoma stem cell • as a O6-alkylguanine-alkyltran • as an inhibitor of AGT in growth inhibition assays of HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | O(6)-benzylguanine is an antineoplastic agent that binds the DNA repair enzyme O(6)-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (AGT), resulting in inhibition of AGT-mediated DNA repair. It is widely used in various DNA repair mechanism studies and potentiates the effects of other chemotherapeutic agents that damage DNA. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | O6-Benzylguanine (O6BG) inhibits methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) by blocking the active site through benzyl group transfer. The use of O6BG with bis-chloroethylnitrosoure |
