WDR74 Inhibitors
WDR74 inhibitors are not a classical category of inhibitors, as WDR74 does not have a catalytic function that can be directly targeted by small molecules. Instead, chemical compounds that affect the pathways and processes WDR74 is involved in can indirectly inhibit its function. Geldanamycin, by inhibiting Hsp90, can disrupt the stabilization and proper function of WDR74, possibly affecting its role in ribosome biogenesis. Cycloheximide's inhibition of protein synthesis could decrease the need for rRNA processing, indirectly affecting WDR74's activity.
Other compounds, such as rapamycin, actinomycin D, triptolide, CX-5461, BMH-21, silvestrol, 5-fluorouracil, ricin, harringtonine, and homoharringtonine, all impact ribosome function or rRNA synthesis, which can lead to a reduced requirement for WDR74's rRNA processing activities. These inhibitors showcase the complex interplay between cellular components and highlight the indirect methods through which the activity of a non-enzymatic protein like WDR74 can be modulated.

Geldanamycin | 30562-34-6 | sc-200617B sc-200617C sc-200617 sc-200617A | 100 µg 500 µg 1 mg 5 mg | $39.00 $59.00 $104.00 $206.00 | 8 | |
Hsp90 inhibitor that destabilizes its client proteins. WDR74 associates with the ribosomal machinery, potentially relying on Hsp90 for proper folding and function. Geldanamycin binding to Hsp90 can lead to the destabilization of WDR74, reducing its functional stability within the cell. | ||||||
Cycloheximide | 66-81-9 | sc-3508B sc-3508 sc-3508A | 100 mg 1 g 5 g | $41.00 $84.00 $275.00 | 127 | |
Inhibitor of eukaryotic protein biosynthesis that acts on the ribosome. WDR74 is involved in ribosomal RNA processing; cycloheximide can impede the ribosomal activity and thus indirectly inhibit WDR74 function due to reduced demand for its rRNA processing role. | ||||||
Rapamycin | 53123-88-9 | sc-3504 sc-3504A sc-3504B | 1 mg 5 mg 25 mg | $63.00 $158.00 $326.00 | 233 | |
mTOR inhibitor that affects ribosome biogenesis. Since WDR74 is involved in ribosomal RNA processing, inhibition of mTOR by rapamycin can lead to reduced ribosome biogenesis and thus decreased requirement for WDR74's function. | ||||||
Actinomycin D | 50-76-0 | sc-200906 sc-200906A sc-200906B sc-200906C sc-200906D | 5 mg 25 mg 100 mg 1 g 10 g | $74.00 $243.00 $731.00 $2572.00 $21848.00 | 53 | |
Inhibitor of DNA-dependent RNA synthesis. WDR74 is implicated in RNA processing; actinomycin D can inhibit RNA polymerase, thereby reducing rRNA synthesis and indirectly inhibiting WDR74's function in rRNA processing. | ||||||
Triptolide | 38748-32-2 | sc-200122 sc-200122A | 1 mg 5 mg | $90.00 $204.00 | 13 | |
NF-κB pathway inhibitor that also impacts RNA polymerase II activity. By inhibiting RNA Pol II, triptolide reduces the transcription of ribosomal RNA genes, thereby potentially decreasing WDR74 function due to less rRNA substrate for processing. | ||||||
CX-5461 | 1138549-36-6 | sc-507275 | 5 mg | $245.00 | ||
Inhibitor of RNA polymerase I transcription. WDR74's function is associated with rRNA processing; by inhibiting rRNA synthesis, CX-5461 can decrease the functional activity of WDR74 by reducing its rRNA substrate. | ||||||
BMH-21 | 896705-16-1 | sc-507460 | 10 mg | $165.00 | ||
Small molecule that binds to RNA polymerase I and induces its degradation. As WDR74 is involved in rRNA processing, the reduction of rRNA synthesis by BMH-21 can lead to decreased WDR74 activity. | ||||||
Silvestrol | 697235-38-4 | sc-507504 | 1 mg | $920.00 | ||
Inhibitor of eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A), which is essential for ribosome assembly. Since WDR74 is part of the ribosomal biogenesis process, silvestrol can indirectly inhibit WDR74 by impeding the formation of functional ribosomes. | ||||||
Fluorouracil | 51-21-8 | sc-29060 sc-29060A | 1 g 5 g | $37.00 $152.00 | 11 | |
Antimetabolite that inhibits thymidylate synthase, leading to disruption of RNA processing. WDR74's role in rRNA processing can be indirectly inhibited as RNA synthesis and processing are impacted by 5-fluorouracil. | ||||||

Inhibitor of the peptidyl transferase activity of the ribosome. WDR74, being involved in ribosome-related processes, can be indirectly inhibited as harringtonine impacts the elongation phase of protein synthesis, reducing ribosome functionality. | ||||||
