Zn(BQTC) is a potent inhibitor of both mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear DNA (nDNA), causing significant damage that disrupts mitochondrial and nuclear functions sequentially. It facilitates apoptotic signaling pathways triggered by DNA damage and exhibits selective antiproliferative effects on A549R cells, rendering it useful for anticancer research [1].

Clevudine (Levovir) is a synthetic pyrimidine analogue with activity against hepatitis B virus (HBV). Intracellularly, clevudine is phosphorylated to its active metabolites, clevudine monophosphate and triphosphate. The triphosphate metabolite competes with thymidine for incorporation into viral DNA, thereby causing DNA chain termination and inhibiting the function of HBV DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase). Clevudine has a long half-life and shows significant reduction of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), therefore the patient is less likely to have a relapse after treatment is discontinued.

Acyclovir (Aciclovir) is a synthetic analog of the purine nucleoside, guanosine, with potent antiviral activity against herpes simplex viruses type 1 and 2, varicella-zoster virus and other viruses of the herpesvirus family.

CRT0044876 (7-NO2-ICA) is a potent and selective APE1 inhibitor with IC50 of ~3 μM.

dUTP trisodium (Deoxyuridine triphosphate) is a deoxyuridine phosphate having a triphosphate group at the 5'-position and can be used for PCR.
