Translesion synthesis (TLS) has emerged as a mechanism through which several forms of cancer develop acquired resistance to first-line genotoxic chemotherapies by allowing replication to continue in the presence of damaged DNA. Small molecules that inhibit TLS hold promise as a novel class of anti-cancer agents that can serve to enhance the efficacy of these front-line therapies. We previously utilized a structure-based rational design approach to identify the phenazopyridine scaffold as an inhibitor of TLS that functions by disrupting the protein-protein interaction (PPI) between the C-terminal domain of the TLS DNA polymerase Rev1 (Rev1-CT) and the Rev1 interacting regions (RIR) of other TLS DNA polymerases. ...
