A-395

A-395 A Chemical Probe For EED

This probe (as hydrochloride) and its inactive control are available from Sigma (A-395 and A-395N) and Cayman (A-395).

A-395

 

A-395N

A collaboration between Abbvie and the SGC has resulted in the discovery of A-395, the first potent and selective chemical probe for EED. The in vitro activity of A-395 includes potent binding to EED with Ki = 0.4 nM,  inhibits the PRC2 complex with IC50 = 34 nM for methylation of H3K27 and greater than 100-fold selectivity over other histone methyltransferases and non-epigenetic targets. In cellular assays, A-395 inhibits the PRC2 complex (thus inhibiting the formation of H3K27me3) with IC50 = 90 nM (RD rhabdoid tumor cell line; 3 days).

A closely related compound, A-395N, exhibits no activity in the biochemical and cellular assays, and is an ideal control compound for cellular studies.

in vitro potency

A-395 potently inhibited the formation of H3K27me3 (via antagonizing EED in the trimeric PRC2 complex (EZH2:EED:SUZ12)) with IC50 = 34 ± 2 nM (Hill Slope = 0.7)
