Uses
Bobcat339 hydrochloride is a potent and selective cytosine-based inhibitor of TET enzyme, with the IC50s of 33 μM and 73 μM for TET1 and TET2, respectively. Bobcat339 hydrochloride is useful to the field of epigenetics and serves as a starting point for new therapeutics that target DNA methylation and gene transcription[1].
