Product Description
FTO-IN-6 is a selective fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) inhibitor.
FTO-IN-6 is a selective small-molecule inhibitor of the fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO), an N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA demethylase involved in epitranscriptomic regulation. It is a valuable tool for studying the role of RNA modifications in cancer and metabolic diseases.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO).
ln Vitro
FTO-IN-6 selectively inhibits the demethylase activity of FTO. The exact IC50 value has not been publicly disclosed, but it is designed to be a potent and selective inhibitor. By inhibiting FTO, it increases m6A levels on RNA, affecting the stability and translation of target mRNAs involved in cell proliferation and metabolism, showing potential in suppressing tumor cell proliferation.
Enzyme Assay
The FTO demethylase activity assay uses recombinant FTO protein and a synthetic RNA oligonucleotide substrate containing N6-methyladenosine (m6A). The compound is pre-incubated with FTO in assay buffer. The reaction is initiated by adding the m6A-containing RNA substrate and cofactors (e.g., alpha-ketoglutarate, Fe2+, ascorbate). After incubation, the demethylation of the RNA substrate is detected and quantified by fluorescence polarization, ELISA, or LC-MS/MS measuring adenosine formation.
Cell Assay
FTO-IN-6's cellular activity can be assessed using m6A-sensitive cancer cell lines (e.g., leukemia, glioblastoma). Cells are treated with varying concentrations of the compound for 48-72 hours. Cellular m6A levels are measured using an m6A ELISA-based quantification kit. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. Apoptosis is evaluated by flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI staining.
Animal Protocol
In vivo activity is likely studied in murine xenograft models of cancer. Immunocompromised mice are implanted with FTO-dependent tumor cells. The compound is administered intraperitoneally or orally at multiple dose levels. Tumor growth inhibition, changes in global m6A levels in tumor tissue, and survival are monitored. Detailed published in vivo data may be available in future literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Detailed pharmacokinetic data are not publicly available for FTO-IN-6. As a small molecule (MW 332.27 g/mol), its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion properties would be critical to determine for in vivo studies. Its likely route of elimination is hepatic metabolism followed by renal excretion.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No detailed toxicology data are available for FTO-IN-6. As a research tool, cytotoxicity and off-target effects against other RNA demethylases (e.g., ALKBH5) would need to be evaluated. For potential in vivo studies, standard acute toxicity tests in rodents would be required.

Additional Infomation
FTO-IN-6 is a research chemical, not an approved drug. It is a selective FTO inhibitor used to study the role of m6A RNA modifications in cancer, obesity, and other diseases. It has shown potential in suppressing tumor cell proliferation and promoting apoptosis, particularly in leukemia and glioblastoma models, making it a valuable tool in RNA epigenetics and FTO-targeted therapeutics.
