Overview

TP-064

TP-064N
(negative control)

A collaboration between Takeda and the SGC has resulted in the discovery of TP-064, the first potent, selective and cell active chemical probe for PRMT4. The in vitro activity of TP-064 includes inhibition of PRMT4 with IC50 < 10nM for methylation of H3 (1-25) and greater than 100-fold selectivity over other histone methyltransferases and non-epigenetic targets. In cellular assays, TP-064 inhibits the methylation of MED12 with IC50 = 43 nM.

A closely related compound, TP-064N, exhibits no activity in the biochemical and cellular assays, and is an ideal control compound for cellular studies.

Selectivity Profile

Selectivity of TP-064N at 10 μM () and 1 μM () and of TP-064 at 10 μM () and 1 μM () for PRMT1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 as well as for 24 histone and DNA methyltransferases was assessed. Dose response data are presented in the top panel as IC50s (μM).

Cell-based Assay Data

TP-064 inhibits the dimethylation of PRMT4 substrates. HEK293 cells were treated with indicated concentrations of TP-064 for 3 days and dimethylation levels of BAF155 and MED12 in whole cell extracts were analyzed by western blotting. (B) Quantitation of data in (A). Graphs represent nonlinear curve fits of dimethyl-BAF155 and dimethyl-MED12 signal intensities normalized to total BAF155 or MED12, respectively. Data represent mean ± SEM of two independent experiments prepared in triplicate.

TP-064 (blue) inhibits PRMT4 activity with an IC50 value of < 10 nM under balanced conditions. TP-064N (red) has no effect on PRMT4 activity up to 100 nM. The binding of TP-064 to PRMT4 was confirmed by DSLS with stabilization at about 6°C. No binding was observed with TP-064N

SPR analysis of the TP-064 binding to PRMT4 in the presence of 50 μM SAM. A representative sensorgram (black dots) is shown with the kinetic fit (solid green). A Kd value of 7.1 ± 1.8 nM, with kon = 1.1 ± 0.1 × 105 M−1 s−1 and koff = 0.7 ± 0.1 × 10−3 s−1, was obtained from triplicate experiments. The steady state response (black circles) and 1:1 binding model fitting (red dashed line) is presented.

Mechanism of action of TP-064 was assessed by determining IC50 of both substrates values at various concentrations.
