c-Myc inhibitors act on the MYC transcription factor, a central regulator of cell growth and proliferation. The MYC proto-oncogene protein binds DNA only as a heterodimer with MYC-associated factor X (MAX), a partnership described in 1991. MYC-MAX dimers recognize E-box sequences and regulate genes for ribosome biogenesis, metabolism and cell cycle progression. Amplification, chromosomal translocation or upstream signaling deregulates MYC in many tumor types. Because MYC has no defined ligand-binding pocket, compounds approach it in different ways. 10058-F4, 10074-G5 and MYCi975 are small molecules that interfere with MYC-MAX dimerization. IZCZ-3 is described as a MYC transcription inhibitor that binds a G-quadruplex in the MYC promoter, and related ligands are listed under G-quadruplex.
Synonyms: EN 4,EN-4
EN4 is a covalent ligand that targets cysteine 171 (C171) of MYC. EN4 is selective for c-MYC over N-MYC and L-MYC. EN4 inhibits MYC transcriptional activity, downregulates MYC targets, and impairs tumorigenesis.
Y502-2304 is a potent c-Myc G-quadruplex stabilizer that exhibits significant antiproliferative activity in multiple myeloma (MM) cells. It effectively downregulates both c-Myc mRNA and protein expression, leading to the induction of apoptosis characterized by increased γH2AX levels and elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS). Additionally, Y502-2304 disrupts mitochondrial function and demonstrates a marked inhibition of tumor growth in xenograft models of MM. This compound is suitable for various research applications focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying multiple myeloma.

Synonyms: 7,12-DMBA; 7,12-Dimethylbenzanthracene
DMBA (7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene) is a potent c-Myc inducer known for its role as a carcinogen due to its polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon structure. This compound is widely utilized in experimental research to induce tumor formation in rodent models, enabling the study of cancer biology, tumorigenesis, and potential therapeutic interventions. Its application is critical in understanding the mechanisms of cancer development and the role of oncogenes.
