1346704-33-3 Usage
Description
GSK343 is a potent and selective EZH2 inhibitor with IC50 of 4 nM in a cell-free assay, showing 60 fold selectivity against EZH1, and >1000 fold selectivity against other histone methyltransferases.
Features
A chemical probe for the SGC epigenetics initiative. Potential use in a variety of solid tumors.
In vitro
GSK343 inhibits trimethylation of H3K27 (H3K27me3) with IC50 of 174 nM in HCC1806 breast cancer cells. GSK343 potently inhibits cell proliferation in breast cancer cells and prostate cancer cells, and the prostate cancer cell line LNCaP is the most sensitive to GSK343, with IC50 of 2.9 μM. GSK343 significantly suppresses the growth of EOC cells cultured in 3D matrigel extracellular matrix (ECM), which mimics the tumor microenvironment in vivo. In addition, GSK343 also induces apoptosis of EOC cells in 3D and significantly inhibits the invasion of EOC cells.
Uses
GSK343 has been used:as an inhibitor of?enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) to assess the impact of chromatin condensation on?cell migrationas histone methyl transferase inhibitor, to suppress the Polyandrocarpa misakiensis, mitochondrial non-coding-region (NCR) PmNCR?reporter gene expression, facilitated?by TC14-3as a supplement in the growth medium to inhibit the generation of H3K27me3 or to inhibit RNA polymerase IIas EZH2 inhibitor to treat castration-resistant neuroendocrine prostate cancer (CRPC-NE)
Biological Activity
gsk343 is a selective and sam-competitive inhibitor of the histone lysine methyltransferase ezh2 with ic50 value of 4 nm [1].ezh2 (enhancer of zestehomolog 2) is a catalytic subunit of the protein complex (polycomb repressive complex 2, prc2). it catalyzes the methylation of h3k27 through transferring the methyl group of sam to h3k27. the trimethylation of h3k27 subsequently results in the transcription suppression of target genes such as runx3, foxc1 and brca1. the overexpression and mutation of ezh2 have been found in many sorts of tumors demonstrating that ezh2 is an attractive target for the treatment of cancers. as a potent ezh2 inhibitor, gsk343 inhibits the activity of the enzyme via competing with the cofactor sam [1, 2].gsk343 is a selective ezh2 inhibitor. it showed no significant inhibitory effects on other enzymes requiring sam as cofactor, including dnmt, mll, prmt and setmar. gsk343 exerted a certain degree of effective on ezh1 with ic50 value of 240 nm since ezh1 was quite homologous to ezh2. in cultured hcc1806 breast cancer cells, treatment of gsk343 dose-dependently reduced h3k27me3 with ic50 value of 174 nm. besides that, gsk343 was found to inhibit cell proliferation in some breast and prostate cancer cells. in lncap cells, gsk343 suppressed cell growth with ic50 value of 2.9 μm. in human eoc cells, gsk343 notably inhibited cell invasion and induced cell apoptosis. gsk343 was also found to induce lc3-ii accumulation and autophagy in a549, mda-mb-231 and hepg2 cell. it enhanced the antitumor activity of sorafenib which was a multikinase inhibitor and could decrease the expression of ezh2 in hepg2 cells [1, 3 and 4].gsk343 is only used as a tool to investigate ezh2 in vitro because of its high clearance in the animal model [1].
Biochem/physiol Actions
GSK343 is a potent, specific inhibitor of the histone H3-lysine 27 (H3K27) methyltransferase EZH2. GSK343 inhibits EZH2 enzymatic activity with an IC50 of 4 nM. The compound displays 60 fold selectivity for EZH2 vs. EZH1, and 1000 fold or greater selectivity against other histone methyltransferases. The IC50 for inhibition of H3K27 methylation is < 200 nM in HCC1806 cells.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 1346704-33-3 includes 10 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 7 digits, 1,3,4,6,7,0 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 1346704-33:
(9*1)+(8*3)+(7*4)+(6*6)+(5*7)+(4*0)+(3*4)+(2*3)+(1*3)=153
153 % 10 = 3
So 1346704-33-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

The histone H3-lysine 27 (H3K27) methyltransferase EZH2 plays a critical role in regulating gene expression, and its aberrant activity is linked to the onset and progression of cancer. As part of a drug discovery program targeting EZH2, we have identified highly potent, selective, SAM-competitive, and cell-Active EZH2 inhibitors, including GSK926 (3) and GSK343 (6). These compounds are small molecule chemical tools that would be useful to further explore the biology of EZH2.
