3-Thiophenecarboxylic acid, 2-amino-4-methyl-5-[[(3-nitrophenyl)amino]carbonyl]-, ethyl ester

Biological Activity

DC-S239 is a selective histone methyltransferase SET7 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 4.59 μM. DC-S239 also displays selectivity for DNMT1, DOT1L, EZH2, NSD1, SETD8 and G9a. DC-S239 has anticancer activity[1]. DC-S239 inhibits DNMT1, DOT1L, EZH2, NSD1, SETD8 and G9a by less than 45%, while it inhibits SET7 by 90% at concentrations of 100 μM[1].DC-S239 (0-100 μM, 120 h) can inhibit the proliferation of MCF7, HL60 and MV4-11 cells in a dose-dependent manner but no significant effect on the activity of HCT116 and DHL4 cells[1].
