Preferred Label : EBNA-1 inhibitor VK-2019;
NCIt synonyms : Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen 1 Inhibitor VK-2019;
NCIt definition : An orally available, small molecule inhibitor of Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA-1)
with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, EBNA-1 inhibitor VK-2019
binds to EBNA-1 and inhibits EBNA-1 DNA binding activity. This disrupts the replication,
maintenance and segregation of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome, which may lead
to tumor cell death in EBV-associated malignancies. EBNA1, a sequence-specific DNA
binding protein, plays an important role in EBV episomal genome maintenance and gene
transactivation.;
