Drug Potency against Target GRN163 Drug Info IC50 = 0.1 nM [527581]
Action against Disease Model Imetelstat GRN163 has been shown to inhibit telomerase activity in 19 t uMor cell lines, with an average IC50 of 0.5-1.0 uM. [552542] Drug Info
The Effect of Target Knockout, Knockdown or Genetic Variations Late generation telomerase knockout mice exhibited impaired exocrine pancreatic regeneration after acute pancreatitis as seen by persistence of metaplastic acinar cells and markedly reduced proliferation. The expression levels of p53 and p21 were not significantly increased in regenerating pancreas of late generation telomerase knockout mice compared to wild-type mice. [552542]
