Description
CPI-637 is an inhibitor of cyclic-AMP response element binding protein (CBP) and adenoviral E1A binding protein of 300 kDa (EP300), a homologous pair of bromodomain-containing proteins (IC
50s = 30 and 51 nM in a time-resolved-FRET (TR-FRET) assay). It is selective for CBP and EP300 over the BET family of bromodomains (IC
50s = >10 μM), however, CPI-637 is active at bromodomain BRD9 (IC
50 = 0.73 μM). CPI-637 also inhibits MYC expression (EC
50 = 0.6 μM) in AMO-1 cells.
Uses
CPI-637 is a selective and potent CBP/EP300 bromodomain inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.03 μM, 0.051 μM and 11.0 μM for CBP, EP300 and BRD4 BD-1, respectively, and an EC50 of 0.3 μM for CBP[1].
in vitro
previous study found that cpi-637 was potent against ep300, and its opposite enantiomer showed a over 200-fold loss in potency. moreover, the biochemical potency of cpi-637 translated well into cells with cbp bret ec50 of 0.3 μm, and cpi-637 demonstrated a more than 700-fold selectivity over the bet family of bromodomains. in addition, cpi-637 was also highly selective against other bromodomains, showing substantial biochemical activity only against brd9. furthermore, it was found that cpi-637 was able to inhibit the expression of myc with an ec50 of 0.60 μm in a cellular assay,. [1].
IC 50
0.03 and 11.0 μm for cbp/ep300 and brd4, respectively.
