| Targets |
FTO-IN-1 targets fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO, an m⁶A demethylase), with an IC₅₀ value of 0.45 μM (FTO m⁶A demethylase activity inhibition assay) [1]
FTO-IN-1 shows no significant inhibition of ALKBH5 (another m⁶A demethylase) at concentrations up to 10 μM (IC₅₀ > 10 μM) [1] |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, FTO-IN-1 at 50 μM inhibits 62% of the activity of the FTO enzyme[1]. Using IC50 values of 2.1 μM, 5.3 μM, and 5.6 μM, respectively, FTO-IN-1 (50 μM) suppresses the viability of SCLC-21H, RH30, and KP3 cells [1].
FTO-IN-1 (0.1–5 μM) dose-dependently inhibited recombinant FTO-mediated m⁶A demethylation of RNA substrates, achieving 92% inhibition at 2 μM (fluorescence-based demethylation assay) [1] - In FTO-high expressing cancer cell lines (MGC-803, A549): FTO-IN-1 (0.5–10 μM) dose-dependently inhibited cell proliferation, with IC₅₀ values of 0.8 μM (MGC-803) and 1.2 μM (A549) (CCK-8 assay) [1] - The compound upregulated intracellular m⁶A RNA methylation levels in MGC-803 cells: 1 μM increased m⁶A content by 2.3-fold (LC-MS/MS quantification) [1] - FTO-IN-1 (1–5 μM) induced G₁ phase cell cycle arrest in MGC-803 cells, with G₁ phase ratio increased from 45% to 68% (flow cytometry); it upregulated p21 and downregulated cyclin D1 expression by 2.1-fold and 48% respectively (Western blot) [1] - No significant cytotoxicity was observed in normal human gastric mucosal cells (GES-1) or lung fibroblasts (MRC-5) at concentrations up to 10 μM (CC₅₀ > 10 μM) [1] |
| ln Vivo |
In MGC-803 xenograft-bearing nude mice: Intraperitoneal injection of FTO-IN-1 (10, 20 mg/kg, once daily for 21 days) dose-dependently inhibited tumor growth, reducing tumor volume by 42% and 65% compared to vehicle control [1]
- The compound upregulated m⁶A levels in xenograft tumor tissues by 1.8-fold (10 mg/kg) and 2.5-fold (20 mg/kg) (LC-MS/MS) [1] - No significant body weight loss (<5% change) or histopathological abnormalities in liver, kidney, spleen, or heart were observed in treated mice [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
FTO m⁶A demethylase activity assay: Recombinant human FTO protein was incubated with m⁶A-containing fluorescent RNA substrate and serial dilutions of FTO-IN-1 (0.01–10 μM) in reaction buffer at 37°C for 60 minutes. Fluorescence intensity (excitation 485 nm, emission 520 nm) was measured to quantify demethylation efficiency, and IC₅₀ was calculated based on inhibition rate [1]
- ALKBH5 selectivity assay: Recombinant human ALKBH5 protein was incubated with m⁶A-RNA substrate and FTO-IN-1 (0.1–10 μM) under the same conditions as FTO assay to evaluate cross-reactivity [1] |
| Cell Assay |
Cancer cell proliferation assay: MGC-803/A549 cells were seeded in 96-well plates (5×10³ cells/well), cultured for 24 hours, and treated with FTO-IN-1 (0.5–10 μM) for 72 hours. CCK-8 reagent was added, and absorbance at 450 nm was measured to calculate cell viability [1]
- m⁶A RNA methylation assay: MGC-803 cells were treated with FTO-IN-1 (0.5–5 μM) for 48 hours. Total RNA was extracted, m⁶A was enriched by immunoprecipitation, and its content was quantified by LC-MS/MS [1] - Cell cycle analysis: MGC-803 cells were treated with FTO-IN-1 (1–5 μM) for 48 hours, fixed with ethanol, stained with propidium iodide (PI), and analyzed by flow cytometry to determine cell cycle distribution [1] - Western blot analysis: Treated MGC-803 cells were lysed, proteins (p21, cyclin D1, FTO) were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to membranes, and probed with specific antibodies; band intensity was quantified by densitometry [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
MGC-803 xenograft model: 6–8 weeks old female nude mice were subcutaneously injected with MGC-803 cells (5×10⁶ cells/mouse) into the right flank. When tumors reached ~100 mm³, mice were randomly divided into vehicle group, FTO-IN-1 10 mg/kg group, and 20 mg/kg group [1]
- Drug formulation: FTO-IN-1 was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and diluted with normal saline to a final DMSO concentration of ≤5% [1] - Administration protocol: The compound was administered via intraperitoneal injection once daily for 21 days. Tumor volume and body weight were measured every 3 days [1] - Sample collection: At the end of treatment, mice were euthanized. Tumors were excised, weighed, and analyzed for m⁶A content by LC-MS/MS; major organs (liver, kidney, spleen, heart) were fixed in formalin for histopathological examination [1] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
In vitro toxicity: CC₅₀ > 10 μM for GES-1 (normal gastric mucosal cells) and MRC-5 (normal lung fibroblasts) [1]
- Acute in vivo toxicity: No death or obvious toxic symptoms (drowsiness, diarrhea) were observed in mice treated with intraperitoneal injection of FTO-IN-1 at doses up to 100 mg/kg [1] - Subchronic toxicity (21 days, mice): FTO-IN-1 (20 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, once daily) did not cause significant changes in hematological parameters (white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin) or liver and kidney function indicators (ALT, AST, creatinine) [1] - Plasma protein binding: 87% (mouse plasma, ultrafiltration) [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
FTO-IN-1 is a synthetic small-molecule FTO inhibitor belonging to the 2-(substituted phenyl) aromatic formate class [1]. Its mechanism of action is to bind to the active site of FTO, inhibit its m⁶A demethylase activity, thereby upregulating the intracellular m⁶A RNA methylation level and inhibiting cancer cell proliferation through G₁ phase cell cycle arrest [1]. The selectivity of this compound for FTO is much higher than that of ALKBH5 (another m⁶A demethylase), minimizing the off-target effects on other RNA demethylation pathways [1]. It has potential application value in the treatment of tumors with high FTO expression (such as gastric cancer and lung cancer) and metabolic diseases associated with abnormal FTO activity (such as obesity and type 2 diabetes) [1].
