Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
Oxidised nucleotide triphosphates (induced by oxidative stress, for example) may be incorporated into DNA/RNA and cause mutagenesis. NUDT1 acts as an antimutagenic enzyme by hydrolysing these oxidised nucleotide triphosphates to monophosphates, thereby preventing their misincorporation. (S)-crizotinib inhibition of NUDT1 causes an accumulation of DNA single-strand breaks which activates DNA repair in vitro. In vivo the effect is observed as tumour suppression [1]. |
