1,2-Ethanediamine, N1-[[3-[4,4-bis(ethoxymethyl)cyclohexyl]-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]methyl]-N1,N2-dimethyl-, hydrochloride (1:1)

GSK3368715 (EPZ019997) hydrochloride is an orally active, reversible, SAM-noncompetitive type I protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) inhibitor with IC50 values of 3.1 nM (PRMT1), 48 nM (PRMT3), 1148 nM (PRMT4), 5.7 nM (PRMT6), and 1.7 nM (PRMT8). GSK3368715 hydrochloride induces a shift in arginine methylation states, alters exon usage, and exhibits potent anticancer activity[1].

GSK3368715 is an inhibitor of type I protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs; IC50s = 3.1, 162, 38, 4.7, and 39 nM for PRMT1, 3, 4, 6, and 8, respectively).1 It is selective for type I PRMTs over PRMT5, 7, and 9 (IC50s = >20,408, >40,000, and >15,000 nM, respectively), as well as 20 additional methyltransferases and a panel of ion channels, receptors, and transporters at 10 μM. GSK3368715 (5 μM) inhibits the growth of patient-derived diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cells. In vivo, GSK3368715 (9.375-150 mg/kg) reduces tumor volume in Toledo DLBCL and BxPC-3 pancreatic adenosarcoma mouse xenograft models. It also reduces tumor growth in ACHN renal carcinoma and MDA-MB-468 breast cancer mouse xenograft models and a pancreatic adenocarcinoma patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse model when administered at doses of 150 and 300 mg/kg, respectively.
