| In vitro study | RK-33 specifically binds to DDX3, but does not bind to DDX5 and ddx17. RK-33 dependent on DDX3 inhibits tumor growth and sensitizes lung cancer cells to radiation. RK-33 had no effect on mitochondrial respiratory function or ATP production. It inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis. DDX3 mediates the regulation of Wnt signaling pathway, and RK-33K can inhibit Wnt signaling pathway. RK-33 damage to radiation-induced DNA damage repair by inhibiting the activity of NHEJ. |
| In vivo study | Radiation treatment in combination with RK-33 induced tumor regression in mice in a variety of lung cancer models. At the concentration dose used, RK-33 was not toxic to SCID mice. There were no significant morphological changes in RK-33 treated mice. |

| biological activity | RK-33 is a small molecule inhibitor of DDX3(RNA helicase). In DDX3 overexpressed cells, it causes cell cycle arrest, induces apoptosis and promotes radiation sensitization. |
| target | TargetValue DDX3 |
| Target | Value | in vitro studies | RK-33 specifically bind DDX3, but do not bind DDX5 and DDX17. RK-33 relies on DDX3 to inhibit tumor growth and make lung cancer cells sensitive to radiation. RK-33 had no effect on mitochondrial respiratory function or ATP production. It can inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis. DDX3 mediates the regulation of Wnt signaling pathway, which can RK-33K inhibit Wnt signaling pathway. RK-33 damage to radiation-induced DNA damage repair by inhibiting NHEJ activity. |
| in vivo study | radiation combined with RK-33 treatment can induce tumor regression in mice with various lung cancer models. At the concentration dose used, the RK-33 was not toxic to SCID mice. Mice treated with RK-33 had no obvious morphological changes. |
