Uses
TETi76 is an orally active TET family inhibitor with IC50 values ??of 1.5, 9.4 and 8.8 μM for TET1, TET2 and TET3, respectively. TETi76 competitively binds to the active site of TET enzymes, reduces cytosine hydroxymethylation and restricts clonal growth of TET2 mutants in vitro and in vivo, but does not affect the growth of normal hematopoietic precursor cells. TETi76 can be used for leukemia research[1].
Biological Activity
TETi76 diethyl ester is a cell-permeant diester form of the α-KG-competitive and hightly selective TET1/2/3 dioxygenase inhibitor TETi76 acid (TET2 cat. domain Kd = 0.3 μM; no potency against 16 other αKG/Fe2+-dependent enzymesincluding closely related RNA dioxygenase FTO). TETi76 ester downregulates cellular 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) levels (IC50 = 20-37 μM; K562MEG01SIGM5OCI-AML5MOLM13)exerts preferential cytotoxicity in TET-deficient cultures (TET2/3-knockout K562 LD50 ~10 μM vs wt K562 LD50 ~40 μM) and significantly reduces TET2-deficient SIGM5 tumor burden in mice in vivo (50 mg/kg p.o.).
