Chemical Structure



In chemical synthesis, α-Amanitin is a potent inhibitor of RNA polymerase II, a key enzyme involved in transcription. By selectively blocking the activity of RNA polymerase II, α-Amanitin can be used to study the process of transcription and its regulation. This small molecule has been employed in the development of transcription inhibitors for research purposes and has also shown potential in the field of drug discovery, particularly in the design of novel anticancer agents. With its ability to target a specific enzyme involved in gene expression, α-Amanitin offers a valuable tool for investigating transcription mechanisms and developing therapeutic strategies.
