HIDE SMILES / InChI
6-O-BENZYLGUANINE is a guanine analogue with antineoplastic activity. O(6)-benzylguanine binds the DNA repair enzyme O(6)-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (AGT), transferring the benzyl moiety to the active-site cysteine and resulting in inhibition of AGT-mediated DNA repair. Co-administration of this agent potentiates the effects of other chemotherapeutic agents that damage DNA. 6-O-benzylguanine has been used in trials studying the treatment of HIV Infection, Adult Gliosarcoma, Adult Glioblastoma, Stage I Adult Hodgkin Lymphoma, and Stage II Adult Hodgkin Lymphoma, among others.

Sample Use Guides

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma: Treatment once every 2 weeks with 120 mg/m(2) intravenous O6-benzylguanine followed 1 hour later by whole-body, low-dose topical carmustine starting at 10 mg, with 10-mg incremental dose-escalation in 3 patient cohorts.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
The sensitivity of BGC-823 cells to BCNU was increased by pretreatment for 2 hours with 1.5 to 6.0 ug/mL O6-benzylguanine. O6-benzylguanine (0.75-6.0 ug/mL) completely and rapidly suppressed the O6-AGT activity of cells for up to 12 hours.
