| Targets |
Histone lysine demethylase 4 (KDM4) family, specifically KDM4A, KDM4B, KDM4C, and KDM4D (also known as KDM4 isoforms). (S)-Zavondemstat selectively targets KDM4A-D with no effect on other KDM families. It competes with the co-substrate alpha-ketoglutarate (alpha-KG) for binding to the active site of KDM4.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Zavondemstat, the active parent compound, is an orally active pan-KDM4 inhibitor with an IC50 ≤ 0.08 uM against human KDM4A-D and a Ki of 0.52 uM against human KDM4C. It induces cell apoptosis, causes S-phase cell cycle arrest, reduces the population of tumor-initiating cells, and inhibits cancer cell proliferation in vitro in various cancer cell lines and organoid models.
|
| ln Vivo |
Zavondemstat, the parent compound, suppresses tumor growth and induces tumor regression in mouse xenograft models. In a Phase 1 clinical study (NCT05076552) in patients with heavily pretreated advanced metastatic cancers, Zavondemstat was very well tolerated and showed encouraging preliminary clinical benefit. It demonstrated a dose-proportional exposure profile with a half-life of about 1.5 hours and no to minimal drug accumulation.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Typical KDM4 inhibition assay: incubate recombinant human KDM4C (0.5-2 ug) with 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 1 mM alpha-ketoglutarate, 2 mM ascorbate, 50 uM (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2, 0.5 mM TCEP, 0.1 mg/mL BSA, and 10 uM biotinylated H3K9me3 peptide in a total volume of 50 uL at 37degC for 1 hour. Zavondemstat is added at varying concentrations (0.01-10 uM). The reaction is stopped, and demethylation is detected by ELISA using an H3K9me3-specific antibody.
|
| Cell Assay |
Standard cell viability protocol: culture cancer cell lines (e.g., HCT116 colorectal, KYSE150 esophageal) in RPMI-1640+10% FBS in 96-well plates. Treat with a dose range of Zavondemstat (0.001-10 uM) for 72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using CellTiter-Glo luminescent assay. Apoptosis is measured by Annexin V-FITC/PI staining followed by flow cytometry. S-phase arrest is measured by propidium iodide staining and cell cycle analysis.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Mouse xenograft models: establish subcutaneous xenografts of HCT116 cells (5×10⁶ cells/injection) in nude mice. When tumors reach ~150 mm3, administer Zavondemstat orally at doses ranging from 3 to 30 mg/kg once daily for 21-28 days. Tumor volume is measured twice weekly, and tumors are harvested for immunohistochemical analysis of KDM4 activity and histone methylation markers.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
In clinical Phase 1 study (NCT05076552) in patients with advanced solid tumors, Zavondemstat demonstrated a dose-proportional exposure profile with a half-life (t1/2) of about 1.5 hours. There was no to minimal drug accumulation observed with repeated daily dosing.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
In a Phase 1 clinical study, Zavondemstat was reported to be very well tolerated with a favorable safety profile. No specific dose-limiting toxicities were observed at the tested doses. Comprehensive preclinical toxicology data for (S)-Zavondemstat alone are not published, but the parent compound showed manageable adverse events with no significant myelosuppression in early trials.

Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

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.
