Project description:FIT-039 is a novel antiviral compound. Antiviral mechanism of FIT-039 is the inhibition of the viral transcription through suppression of the CTD phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II. We used microarrays to evaluated the effect of FIT-039 on host cellular transcriptome, compared with Flavopiridol which is an existing pan-specific CDK9 inhibitor.

We used microarrays to evaluated the effect of FIT-039 on host cellular transcriptome, compared with Flavopiridol which is an existing pan-specific CDK9 inhibitor. HeLa cells were incubated with FIT-039 or flavopiridol at the concentration of IC80 for 24 hr, and cellular RNAs were collected and subjected to microarray analysis. The solvent DMSO was used as a negative control.
