EPZ015666 Usage And Synthesis

Description

EPZ015666 (GSK3235025) is an orally available inhibitor of protein arginine methyltransferase-5 (PRMT5), which is involved in diverse cellular processes, including tumorigenesis, and its overexpression is observed in cell lines and primary patient samples derived from lymphomas, particularly mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).EPZ015666 showed dose-dependent antitumor activity in multiplein vitroandin vivomantle cell lymphoma (MCL) models with treatment of MCL cell lines leading to inhibition of SmD3 methylation and cell death. Therefore, it is a potential drug candidate for future cancer therapy.

Description

EPZ015666 (1616391-65-1) is a selective and potent (IC50?= 22nM) inhibitor of arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5).1,2?PRMT5 inhibition with EPZ015666 potently suppressed?in vivo?glioblastoma tumors3?and significantly inhibited the growth of multiple myeloma cell lines4.

Uses

Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) target nuclear and cytoplasmic substrates and can alter protein actions and gene expression. PRMT5, which can methylate histones H2A, H3, and H4, ribonucleoproteins, and other proteins, is upregulated in several human cancers, including lymphomas. Moreover, suppression of PRMT5 expression induces lymphoma cell death. EPZ015666 is a potent, orally bioavailable inhibitor of PRMT5 (Ki = 5 nM). It displays more than 20,000-fold selectivity for PRMT5 over other PMTs. EPZ015666 acts by blocking the association of PRMT5 with methylosome protein 50, which is necessary for the formation of an active methyltransferase complex. EPZ015666 (100 mg/kg twice daily) blocks the growth of mantle cell lymphoma Z-138 xenografts, without significant body weight loss, in mice.[Cayman Chemical]

Uses

EPZ015666 is a potent, orally bioavailable inhibitor of Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5). It acts by blocking the association of PRMT5 with methylosome protein 50.

Biochem/physiol Actions

EPZ015666 (GSK3235025) is a protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT5 inhibitor with an IC50 value of of 22 nM in biochemical assays and no inhibition up to the maximum tested concentration of 50 μM against a panel of 20 other protein methyltransferases. Inhibition was uncompetitive with respect to SAM. EPZ015666 showed dose-dependent antitumor activity in multiple in vitro and in vivo mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) models with treatment of MCL cell lines leading to inhibition of SmD3 methylation and cell death.
