Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

SCR7 selectively binds to and inhibits DNA Ligase IV, which blocks the non-homologous end joining pathway and prevents the enzymatic ligation of double-strand DNA breaks in mammalian cells. This blockade alters cellular DNA repair responses, providing therapeutic potential to mitigate cellular injury and tissue damage in clinical conditions such as acute kidney injury.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
