ML324 (1222800-79-4) inhibits JMJD2 histone demethylases. Represses the expression of viral (HCMV and HSV-1) immediate early genes (IC50 ~ 10 μM) and abrogates infection. ML-324 represses the reactivation of HSV from the latent state in sensory neurons.1
ML324 is a JMJD2 demethylase inhibitor. It blocks the initiation of viral lytic infection and HSV-1 reactivation in the sensory ganglia of latently infected mice.
