a The schemata of AP site cleavage assay. b Chemical structure of NO.0449-0145. c Cell survival assay showed that NO.0449-0145 treatment induced cell death in A549, NCI-H460, NCI-H1299 cells but not in HELF cell. d Circular dichroism spectroscopy analysis of APE1/NO.0449-0145 binding. e Docking studies identified four high-potential sites of APE1 binding with NO.0449-0145. f Inhibitory effects of NO.0449-0145 on FEN1 mutations. Each experiment was repeated three times. **p < 0.01.
