Product Description
DHX9-IN-2 is an ATP-dependent inhibitor of RNA helicase A (DHX9) with IC50 of 0.0698 nM. Has potential anticancer/anti-tumor effects.
DHX9-IN-2 (CAS#: 2973395-71-8) is a potent, selective, small-molecule inhibitor of the RNA helicase DHX9 (also known as DDX9). It is orally bioavailable and designed to disrupt DNA-RNA hybrid resolution and replication stress responses, making it a valuable research tool for cancer biology and transcriptional regulation studies.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
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.

  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
