    Background

    KU-55933 is a potent and selective ATP-competitive inhibitor of ATM kinase (IC50 = 13 nM and Ki = 2.2 nM). This small molecule has been shown to sensitize cancer cells to ionizing radiation and chemotherapeutic agents (1). Treating senescent cancer cells (MCF7, A549, and HCT 116) with KU-55933 results in decreased viability and cell death (2). KU-55933 has neuroprotective capabilities by preventing damage caused by oxidative stress (3).

    Alternate Names

    2-(4-Morpholinyl)-6-(1-thianthrenyl)-4H-pyran-4-one; ATM Kinase Inhibitor; competitive ATM kinase inhibitor; KU-55933; KU-55933 (ATM Kinase Inhibitor); KU55933
