| ln Vitro |
N6,2′-O-Dimethyladenosine is a reversible modification found at the +1 position adjacent to the 5′ mRNA cap, influencing cap-dependent translation. As a substrate, it undergoes FTO-catalyzed demethylation, which removes methyl groups from the RNA, impacting mRNA stability, translation efficiency, and protein expression. It is also a substrate for ALKBH5.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The FTO enzymatic assay is used to study demethylation. Recombinant FTO protein is incubated with N6,2′-O-Dimethyladenosine in a reaction buffer containing cofactors (alpha-ketoglutarate, Fe2+, ascorbate). The reaction products are analyzed by LC-MS/MS to quantify the formation of demethylated adenosine derivatives. This setup allows measurement of FTO catalytic activity and screening of FTO inhibitors.
|
| Cell Assay |
To study its role in cells, N6,2′-O-Dimethyladenosine or its modified RNA transcripts are transfected into cells expressing FTO. Changes in the stability and translational efficiency of the modified RNA are monitored using qRT-PCR and reporter assays (e.g., luciferase). Alternatively, global m6Am levels in mRNA are measured by LC-MS after treatment with FTO inhibitors.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies are conducted using genetically modified mouse models (e.g., FTO knockout or overexpressing mice). The levels of N6,2′-O-Dimethyladenosine in various tissues (especially brain and adipose) are quantified by LC-MS. Correlations between levels of this modification, body weight, and metabolic parameters are studied to understand the physiological role of FTO.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
As an endogenous modified nucleoside, N6,2′-O-Dimethyladenosine is metabolically unstable and is likely degraded by nucleotidases and phosphorylases. Its intracellular levels are tightly regulated by the balance between its incorporation into RNA via the transcription machinery and its demethylation by FTO and other eraser proteins.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No toxicity data are available as this is an endogenous RNA modification, not an exogenous drug. It is present in normal cells at low levels and is part of normal RNA metabolism. High levels of this modification may disrupt normal translation and are potentially hazardous, but no studies have established acute toxicity.

| Additional Infomation |
N(6),2'-O-dimethyladenosine is a methyladenosine compound in which two methyl groups are attached to the N(6) position of the adenine nucleobase and the O(2) position of the sugar, respectively. It is functionally related to adenosine.
This compound is a research chemical, not an approved drug. It has a key biological function as a regulator of gene expression, specifically in the context of the mRNA cap. By regulating cap-dependent translation, it influences various cellular processes including cell growth and differentiation. It is used as a standard in LC-MS assays for studying FTO activity and for quantifying m6Am levels in biological samples. |

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
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).
