| Description |
A cell-permeable 2,6-diaminopyridine compound that interacts with HSF1 (heat shock factor 1) in a reversible manner and prevents HSF1 from recruiting p-TEFb (positive transcription elongation factor b) to the hsp70 promoter site (IC 50 ≤3 µM in HCT-116 ChIP assays), a critical step for the p-TEFb CDK9 subunit-catalyzed pol II CTD (RNA polymerase II c-terminal domain) Ser-2 phosphorylation and transcription activation upon heat shock induction (IC 50 <1, <3, <5, and <10 µM, respectively, against reporter, HSP47, HSP27, and HSP70 transcription in HCT-116 cultures)
