PRKDC and neoplasm: Intriguingly, Wong et al. recently showed that SN38023, a novel prodrug, can be metabolized to a potent DNA-PKcs inhibitor (IC87361) selectively in hypoxic cells [88], such that SN38023 selectively inhibited radiation-activated Ser2056 autophosphorylation of DNA-PKcs and radio-sensitized cancer cells under anoxia [88], indicating the promise to exploit hypoxia for selective delivery of DNA-PKcs inhibitors to target tumor cells.
