DNA polymerase α / POLA1 · Literature evidence
Biological Activity
CD437 is a retinoid-like research compound with direct DNA polymerase α inhibition and antiproliferative activity in cancer-cell models. Wild-type POLA1 IC50: 22 nM. Resistant L700S and L764S variants gave IC50 values of 1.2 and 2.6 µM.

POLA1 inhibition
Recombinant DNA polymerase-α activity assay. [1], Fig. 3
Wild-type POLA1 IC50: 22 nM. Resistant L700S and L764S variants gave IC50 values of 1.2 and 2.6 µM.
Direct binding
POLA1 binding measurement. [1], Fig. 4
Kd was 67 ± 22 nM. This binding affinity is distinct from the enzymatic IC50.
