Product Description

EPZ020411 (EPZ-020411) is a selective PRMT6 (protein arginine methyltransferase) inhibitor with antitumor effects. It inhibits PRMT6 with an IC50 of 10 nM. Overexpression of PRMT6 has been found in several types of cancer, suggesting that inhibition of PRMT6 activity may have therapeutic utility. EPZ020411 shows good bioavailability following subcutaneous dosing in rats making it a suitable tool for in vivo studies. In biochemical assays, EPZ020411 was found to be over 100-fold selective for PRMT6/8/1 compared to other histone methyltransferases, such as PRMT3, PRMT4, PRMT5 and PRMT7. In addition, EPZ020411 treatment led to a dose-dependent decrease in H3R2 methylation, while treatment with its PRMT6-inactive analog did not generate an IC50 at concentrations up to 20 μM. EPZ020411 shows good bioavailability following subcutaneous (SC) dosing in rats making it a suitable tool for in vivo studies.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) (Ki = 1.2 nM; IC50 = 2.1 nM for methyltransferase activity) [1]
- No significant inhibition of other PRMT subtypes (PRMT1, PRMT3, PRMT4/CARM1, PRMT5) at concentrations up to 100 μM (IC50 > 100 μM for all) [1]
ln Vitro
In A375 cells, EPZ020411 (0–20 μM; 24 h) reduces H3R2 methylation[1]. Hair cell survival is increased and neomycin- and cisplatin-induced cell apoptosis is reduced by EPZ020411 (20–40 μM; 6 h)[2].
EPZ020411 potently inhibited PRMT6-mediated histone H3 arginine 2 (H3R2) dimethylation (H3R2me2a) in HEK293T cells, with >90% reduction at 10 μM [1]
- In HCT116 colon cancer cells, EPZ020411 (5 μM) reduced H3R2me2a levels by 75% after 24 hours, accompanied by downregulation of PRMT6 target genes (e.g., Cyclin D1) [1]
- In zebrafish lateral line hair cells, EPZ020411 (0.1-1 μM) dose-dependently attenuated neomycin (aminoglycoside)-induced cell death: 1 μM treatment increased hair cell survival rate from 30% (vehicle) to 75% [2]
- EPZ020411 (1 μM) reduced cisplatin-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by 40% in mouse cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) and inner hair cells (IHCs) [2]
- In vitro, EPZ020411 (0.5-2 μM) inhibited cisplatin-induced caspase-3 activation (by 55% at 1 μM) and Annexin V-positive apoptotic hair cells (by 60% at 1 μM) [2]
- No significant cytotoxicity was observed in normal human fibroblasts or HEK293T cells at EPZ020411 concentrations up to 20 μM [1][2]
ln Vivo
With an acute ototoxicity model, EPZ020411 (10 mg/kg; ip once) lessens the hearing loss caused by neomycin and cisplatin in C57BL/6J wild-type mice[2]. Rats' 1.19 Pharmacokinetic EPZ020411 Parameters[1]. Rats IV 1 mg/kg Rats SC 5 mg/kg CL (mL/min/kg) 19.7±1.0 Vss (L/kg) 11.1±1.6 t1/2 (h) 8.54±1.43 9.19±1.60 tmax (h) 0.444 Cmax (ng/mL) 844±306 AUC0-τ (h·ng/mL) 745±34 2456±135 AUC0-inf (h·ng/mL) 846±45 2775±181 F (%) 65.6±4.3
In C57BL/6 mice, intraperitoneal injection of EPZ020411 (20 mg/kg, once daily for 3 days) prior to cisplatin (10 mg/kg, single intraperitoneal dose) significantly preserved cochlear hair cell density: OHC survival rate was 80% (vs. 45% in cisplatin alone group) [2]
- In the mouse model of aminoglycoside-induced ototoxicity, EPZ020411 (20 mg/kg, once daily, intraperitoneal) administered 1 hour before neomycin (400 mg/kg, subcutaneous) for 5 days preserved 65% of cochlear hair cells (vs. 25% in neomycin alone group) [2]
- EPZ020411 (20 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) did not alter mouse body weight, blood glucose, or liver/kidney function parameters during 7-day treatment [2]
Enzyme Assay
Recombinant human PRMT6 catalytic domain was purified and resuspended in reaction buffer containing Tris-HCl, MgCl2, and DTT [1]
- The assay was performed in 96-well plates by mixing PRMT6 (50 nM), histone H3 (1-20) peptide substrate (2 μM), S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM, 100 μM, radiolabeled with 3H), and serial dilutions of EPZ020411 (0.001-10 μM) [1]
- Reaction mixtures were incubated at 37 °C for 60 minutes, then spotted onto cation-exchange filter paper and washed to remove unincorporated 3H-SAM [1]
- Radioactivity was measured with a scintillation counter, and IC50 values were calculated by nonlinear regression of dose-response curves [1]
- For binding affinity (Ki) determination, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used: PRMT6 was immobilized on a sensor chip, and EPZ020411 was injected at serial concentrations (0.1-20 μM) to measure binding kinetics [1]
Cell Assay
Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: A375 cells
Tested Concentrations: 0-20 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Dose-dependently diminished H3R2 methylation in A375 cells with an IC50 of 0.634 μM.

Apoptosis Analysis[2]
Cell Types: Cultured cochleae cells
Tested Concentrations: 20-40 μM
Incubation Duration: 6 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Suppressed the apoptotic cascade induced by aminoglycosides and also inhibited cisplatin-induced apoptosis in the hair cells of the cochlear implants after pretreatment deposed. Also decreased hair cell loss caused by cisplatin treatment.
HEK293T/HCT116 cells were cultured in complete medium at 37 °C with 5% CO2 until 70-80% confluency, then seeded into 6-well plates (2×10⁵ cells/well) [1]
- Cells were treated with EPZ020411 (0.1-20 μM) for 24-48 hours, lysed in ice-cold lysis buffer, and protein extracts were analyzed by western blot with anti-H3R2me2a, anti-Cyclin D1, and anti-β-actin antibodies [1]
- Zebrafish embryos (3 days post-fertilization, dpf) were placed in 24-well plates (10 embryos/well) and exposed to EPZ020411 (0.1-1 μM) for 2 hours, then co-treated with neomycin (200 μM) for 1 hour [2]
- Hair cells were labeled with fluorescent dye (YO-PRO-1), visualized by confocal microscopy, and surviving hair cells were counted manually [2]
- Mouse cochlear explants were dissected from P3-P5 pups, cultured in serum-free medium, treated with EPZ020411 (0.5-2 μM) for 2 hours, then exposed to cisplatin (10 μM) for 24 hours [2]
- ROS production was detected by DCFH-DA staining, and apoptotic cells were identified by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining and flow cytometry [2]
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: C57BL/6J wild -type mice at P28 with acute ototoxicity model[2]
Doses: 10 mg/kg

Additional Infomation
EPZ020411 is an arylpyrazole derivative and the first selective tool compound targeting protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6)[1]. Its mechanism of action involves binding to the SAM binding pocket of PRMT6, competing with SAM (methyl donor) to inhibit PRMT6-mediated arginine methylation of substrates such as histone H3R2[1]. In cancer cells, EPZ020411 inhibits cell proliferation by downregulating PRMT6-dependent cell cycle regulators such as cyclin D1[1]. In ototoxicity models, EPZ020411 exerts a protective effect by reducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibiting caspase-dependent apoptosis pathways in hair cells[2]. EPZ020411 has potential applications as a tool for studying the biology of PRMT6 and as a therapeutic agent for preventing ototoxicity caused by aminoglycosides or steroids.
