Hydroxystilbamidine ((E)-hydroxystilbamidine), a dye capable of binding to both DNA and RNA, has been found to be a powerful inhibitor of cellular ribonucleases.

D-(-)-3-Phosphoglyceric acid disodium (3-Phospho-D-glyceric acid disodium) is an intermediate in glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and the biosynthesis of serine, glycine, and threonine, competitively inhibiting yeast enolase.

Toringin, a bioflavonoid, is isolated from the bark of Docyniopsis tschonoski. Toringin progressively decreases not only the cis-effect of the expanded CTG repeats but cytotoxicity as well. Exposure to isosakuranetin, Toringin rescues PC12 neuronal cells. Flavonoids are efficacious for ameliorating the RNA gain of function caused by expanded CTG repeats, and have various biological activities and beneficial actions against cancers, coronary heart disease, among other pathologies.
