The invention is directed to a method of treating a cancer in an animal and a method of increasing DNA repair activity in an animal. The methods comprise administering to an animal in need thereof an effective amount of a small molecule substance that interferes with the activity of CUL4A, such as a 1,3-benzoxathiol-2-one compound, a pyridine thione compound, a 2,6-diamino-4-thiopyran-3,5-dicarbonitrile compound, or a 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol compound.
本发明涉及一种治疗动物癌症的方法和一种提高动物 DNA 修复活性的方法。这些方法包括向有需要的动物施用有效量的干扰CUL4A活性的小分子物质,如1,3-苯并氧
硫醇-2-酮化合物、
吡啶硫酮化合物、2,6-二
氨基-4-
噻喃-3,5-二甲腈化合物或
1,2,4-三唑-3-
硫醇化合物。
