NCIt synonyms : DNA, d(3'-amino-3'-deoxy-P-thio)(T-A-G-G-G-T-T-A-G-A-C-A-A), 5'-[O-[2-hydroxy-3- [(1-oxohexadecyl)amino]propyl]
hydrogen phosphorothioate], Sodium Salt (1:13);
NCIt definition : The sodium salt of imetelstat, a synthetic lipid-conjugated, 13-mer oligonucleotide
N3' P5'-thio-phosphoramidate with potential antineoplastic activity. Complementary
to the template region of telomerase RNA (hTR), imetelstat acts as a competitive enzyme
inhibitor that binds and blocks the active site of the enzyme (a telomerase template
antagonist), a mechanism of action which differs from that for the antisense oligonucleotide-mediated
inhibition of telomerase activity through telomerase mRNA binding. Inhibition of telomerase
activity in tumor cells by imetelstat results in telomere shortening, which leads
to cell cycle arrest or apoptosis.;
