| Targets |
PCAF-IN-2 targets PCAF (KAT2B) histone acetyltransferase with an IC50 of 5.31 uM. It selectively inhibits PCAF over other HATs and bromodomain-containing proteins, modulating gene transcription by regulating histone acetylation levels at specific promoter regions.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In HePG2, MCF-7, PC3, and HCT-116 cells, PCAF-IN-2 has anti-tumor action with IC50 values of 3.06, 5.69, 7.56, and 2.83 µM, respectively [1]. When HePG2 cells are in the G2/M phase, PCAF-IN-2 (10 µM) triggers apoptosis and stops the cell cycle [1].
In cell-free HAT assays using purified PCAF enzyme, PCAF-IN-2 inhibits histone acetylation with an IC50 of 5.31 uM. It prevents the transfer of acetyl groups from acetyl-CoA to histone substrates, blocking PCAF-mediated chromatin remodeling and gene activation. The compound shows dose-dependent inhibition without affecting other HAT family members significantly. |
| ln Vivo |
In HepG2 and other cancer cell lines, PCAF-IN-2 (10 uM) induces apoptosis and triggers cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. It suppresses cancer cell proliferation and modulates expression of genes involved in cell survival, inflammation, and tumorigenesis. The compound shows significant anti-tumor activity in cellular models of cancer.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vivo anti-tumor efficacy has been demonstrated in mouse xenograft models. PCAF-IN-2 administered intraperitoneally (dose not specified in available sources) reduces tumor growth and induces apoptosis in tumor tissues. It modulates histone acetylation levels and gene expression profiles in vivo, validating PCAF as a therapeutic target in oncology.
|
| Cell Assay |
The cell-free HAT activity assay is performed using purified recombinant PCAF enzyme, 3H-acetyl-CoA or biotinylated-acetyl-CoA, and histone H3 or peptide substrate. Compound dilutions (0.1-100 uM PCAF-IN-2) are pre-incubated with PCAF, followed by addition of substrate and acetyl-CoA. Acetylation is detected by scintillation counting (3H) or time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer. IC50 is calculated from dose-response curves.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Cancer cell lines (e.g., HepG2, HeLa, HCT116) are treated with 1-50 uM PCAF-IN-2 for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or CellTiter-Glo. Apoptosis is quantified by flow cytometry (Annexin V/PI staining) and caspase-3 activation. Cell cycle distribution is analyzed by propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry. Histone acetylation is measured by Western blot using acetyl-specific antibodies.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
A mouse xenograft model using human cancer cell lines is established. When tumors reach a certain size, PCAF-IN-2 is administered intraperitoneally or intravenously at optimized doses (typically 10-50 mg/kg) daily or every other day for 2-4 weeks. Tumor volumes are measured by calipers. Post-treatment, tumors are harvested for histone acetylation, apoptosis markers (TUNEL, cleaved caspase-3), and proliferation (Ki67) analysis.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for PCAF-IN-2 are limited. Based on chemical properties (molecular weight: 268.20; LogP ~1.5-2.0), the compound is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability and good cell permeability. For in vitro use, stock solutions are prepared in DMSO (10-50 mM). For in vivo studies, formulation in DMSO:PEG300:Tween 80:saline is recommended. Stability: powder at -20degC for 3 years, in solvent at -80degC for 6 months.

| Additional Infomation |
Preclinical toxicity data are limited, but PCAF-IN-2 has shown a tolerable safety profile at therapeutic doses in animal studies. It is not approved for human use. Standard safety precautions for research chemicals and HDAC inhibitor-like compounds should be followed. Avoid inhalation and skin contact. Use in a well-ventilated area with appropriate PPE.
