Notes: AVN-944 is a selective, noncompetitive inhibitor of inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH; Ki = 6-10 nM for both human IMPDH isoforms), a rate-limiting enzyme involved in the de novo synthesis of purine nucleotides.{33492} Inhibition of IMPDH results in disruption of DNA and RNA synthesis, inhibition of cell proliferation, and the induction of apoptosis. AVN-944 has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of multiple myeloma cells in vitro by inducing caspase-independent apoptosis.{33492} It is also reported to have antitumor properties in androgen-sensitive and androgen-independent prostate cancer cells in vitro.{33491}
