Biological Activity:
DZNep (3-Deazaneplanocin A, NSC617989) is an S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase inhibitor, indirectly inhibiting histone methyltransferases and decreasing global DNA methylation. It competitively inhibits S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (Ki ~50 pM), decreases EZH2 activities, and inhibits trimethylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 in cultured human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) HL-60 and OCI-AML3 cells and in primary AML cells in a dose-dependent manner (IC50~0.2-1 μM). In vivo it shows strong anticancer activity by IP injection alone or in combination with the pan-histone deacetylase inhibitor panobinostat. DZNep can also enhance Oct 4 expression in generating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
How to Use:
- In vitro: DZNep was used at 1 µM final concentration in vitro and in cellular assays.
- In vivo: DZNep was IP or IV dosed to mice at 120 mg/kg once per day in the xenograft tumor model of Hep-G2, H358, A549, MDA-MB468, HCT116, CAL-27, HepG2, or HPAC.
