Biological Activity
GNE-274 is a non-degrader that is structurally related to GDC-0927 (ER degrader). GNE-274 does not induce ER turnover and functions as a partial ER agonist in breast cancer cell lines. GNE-274 increase chromatin accessibility at ER-DNA binding sites, while GDC-0927 do not. GNE-274 is a potent inhibitor of ER-ligand binding domain (LBD). GNE-274 can be used for cancer research[1][2].
GNE-274 (0.1 nM-1000 nM; 4 hours) fails to trigger increased ER turnover in MCF7, MD-134, HCC1500 and CAMA cells[1].GNE-274 (1-1000 nM; 7-10 days) potently inhibits cellular proliferation, exhibiting greater potency than fulvestrant, 4-OHT, AZD9496, and GDC-0810 in E2-stimulated ER+ breast cancer cell lines[1].In transposaseaccessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) assay, GNE-274 increase chromatin accessibility at ER-DNA binding sites, it significantly alters chromatin accessibility at 594 sites. But GDC-0927 has considerably less impact on chromatin accessibility[1].
