0.0698 nM (DHX9)[1]
DHX9 (ATP-dependent RNA helicase A), a key regulator of RNA metabolism, genome stability, and DNA damage repair. The compound selectively inhibits DHX9 helicase activity over other helicases such as DDX36, BRM, and BRG1. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In enzymatic assays, DHX9-IN-2 exhibits potent inhibitory activity against DHX9 helicase with an IC50 of 8 nM. It demonstrates high selectivity, effectively blocking the unwinding activity of DHX9 without significant off-target effects on related helicases, disrupting DNA-RNA hybrid resolution and influencing gene expression and replication stress responses.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, DHX9-IN-2 induces strong and sustained tumor growth inhibition or regression in MSI-H/dMMR colorectal cancer (CRC) xenograft models. Its oral bioavailability allows for effective dosing, leading to significant anti-tumor efficacy through the modulation of DHX9-mediated pathways in oncology research settings.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A non-cellular helicase assay is performed using recombinant DHX9 protein and a DNA-RNA substrate. The test compound is pre-incubated with the enzyme at varying concentrations, and the reaction is initiated by adding ATP. After 30-60 minutes at 37degC, the reaction is stopped, and the unwound product is detected using a fluorescence-based or gel-based system to calculate the IC50.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell-based proliferation assays are conducted using CRC cell lines such as HCT116 or SW480. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with a concentration range of DHX9-IN-2 (0.1-100 uM) for 48-72 hours. Cell viability is measured using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays to determine the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for cell growth inhibition.
|
| Animal Protocol |
MSI-H/dMMR colorectal cancer xenograft models are established in immunodeficient mice. Once tumors reach a suitable size, DHX9-IN-2 is administered orally (p.o.) at doses ranging from 1-50 mg/kg daily for 14-21 days. Tumor volumes are measured with calipers every 2-3 days, and body weight is monitored. At study endpoint, tumors are excised and weighed to assess growth inhibition or regression.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
DHX9-IN-2 is orally bioavailable in preclinical species, with good absorption and systemic exposure following oral administration. It has moderate plasma clearance and a reasonable half-life that supports once-daily dosing in xenograft models. It is soluble in DMSO (84 mg/mL) and can be formulated for in vivo studies using standard vehicles like PEG300 and Tween-80.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Standard toxicology assessments for DHX9-IN-2 are not extensively published. As a research compound, it is intended for laboratory use only and not for human therapeutic applications. Preliminary in vitro cytotoxicity studies suggest a favorable safety window in normal cells, but comprehensive toxicological profiling is required for clinical development.

| Additional Infomation |
The compound is also known as ATX968 and is highly selective for DHX9 over other helicases (IC50=8 nM). It has been cited in high-impact journals such as Nature Medicine for its top-tier quality. It remains a preclinical research tool and has not yet entered human clinical trials or received regulatory approval for any therapeutic indication.
