Product Description

BIX01294 is a novel and potent inhibitor of G9a histone methyltransferase with anticancer activity. It inhibits G9a with an IC50 of 2.7 μM in a cell-free assay. BIX-01294 was discovered by screening a library of 125,000 synthetic and preselected compounds against G9a. It demostrates excellent antiproliferative activity and high in vivo antitumor efficacy. BIX-01294 is selective for G9a and GLP (G9a-like protein) over several H3K9 PKMTs including SUV39H1 and ESET, other KMTs such as SET7/9, and the arginine methyltransferase PRTM1. The X-ray crystal structure of GLP and BIX-01294 confirmed that BIX-01294 bound to the histone peptide binding pocket but failed to interact with the lysine binding channel.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Recurrent tumor cell proliferation is selectively inhibited by BIX-01294 (2 μM; 48 hours) [1]. Significant increase in MLKL S345 phosphorylation is caused by BIX-01294 (1 μM)[1]. In recurrent tumor cell lines, BIX-01294 (1 μM) strongly upregulates the traditional p53 targets Gadd45a and Cdkn1a (p21)[1]. Both primary and recurrent tumor cells exhibit decreased H3K9me2 levels in response to BIX-01294 (1 μM; 6 days) [1]. Necroptotic cell death in recurring tumor cells is induced by BIX-01294. Necrostatin-1 (30 μM) partially counteracts the 24-hour, 750 nM-induced cell death caused by BIX-01294[1]. In mouse ES cells, BIX-01294 (4.1 μM) resulted in a 20% decrease in unmodified H3K9 fragments in H3K9me2, which was significantly accompanied by an increase. In wild-type ES cells, BIX-01294 significantly lowers H3K9me2, but only slightly lowering H3K9me3 and H3K9me1 [2]. Even at 45 μM, BIX-01294 did not inhibit other histone methyltransferases. SUV39H1 (H320R) and PRMT1[2] are unaffected by BIX-01294 in the measured concentration range (up to 10 μM). G9a and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) are inhibited by BIX-01294 in a non-competitive way[2]. Reduced BrdU binding is caused by BIX-01294 (1 μg/mL) in fetal PASMC. PASMC migration caused by PDGF[3] was inhibited by BIX-01294 therapy.
ln Vivo
In recurring tumor cells, BIX-01294 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; three times weekly for two weeks) dramatically lowered tumor development and tumor burden. Growth of primary tumors is not inhibited [1].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
