A-366

A-366 A chemical Probe for G9a/GLP

This compound is available from SigmaTocris and Cayman Chemical

overview

 

A collaboration between the SGC and Abbvie has resulted in the discovery of A-366, a chemical Probe for G9a/GLP. A-366 is a potent inhibitor of G9a/GLP with IC50 3 nM and > 100-fold selectivity over other methyltransferases and other non-epigenetic targets. A-366 has been shown to inhibit H3K9 methylation in cells with an IC50 of 100 nM and exhibits minimal cellular toxicity compared with previous quinazoline-based probes. 

 

A recent study by Wagner et al. (PMID: 26893353) showed that A-366 displaces H3K4me3 from Spindlin1 (2nd Tudor domain) with IC50 = 182.6 ± 9.1 nM.
