Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO).

| ln Vitro |
FTO-IN-3 potently and selectively inhibits FTO's RNA demethylase activity, leading to increased m6A levels on mRNA transcripts involved in stem cell maintenance. The exact IC50 has not been publicly disclosed, but it is reported to selectively impair self-renewal in glioblastoma stem cells in vitro. It suppresses the self-renewal capacity of GSCs without affecting normal neural stem cells.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The FTO demethylase activity assay is performed using recombinant FTO enzyme and an RNA oligonucleotide substrate containing N6-methyladenosine (m6A). The compound is pre-incubated with FTO, the RNA substrate, and cofactors (alpha-ketoglutarate, Fe2+, ascorbate). After incubation, the demethylation of m6A is detected and quantified by LC-MS/MS, fluorescence-based assays, or by using a demethylation-specific antibody.
|
| Cell Assay |
The primary assay uses patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) grown as neurospheres. Cells are treated with FTO-IN-3 at various concentrations (e.g., 1, 5, 10 uM) for several days. Self-renewal capacity is assessed using limiting dilution assays and neurosphere formation frequency (NFF) quantification. Cell viability is measured by CellTiter-Glo, and differentiation is assessed by staining with neural lineage markers (e.g., GFAP, Tuj1).
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies are conducted in mouse orthotopic xenograft models of glioblastoma. GSCs are implanted intracranially into immunocompromised mice. The compound is administered intraperitoneally or orally daily. Tumor growth is monitored by bioluminescence imaging or MRI. Endpoints include tumor burden, animal survival, and molecular analysis of m6A levels in tumor tissues. Detailed published in vivo data may be limited.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Detailed pharmacokinetic data are not publicly available for FTO-IN-3. As a small molecule (MW 258.3 g/mol), its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier is an important characteristic. Its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties would need to be characterized in standard preclinical PK studies using rodents.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No detailed toxicology data are publicly available for FTO-IN-3. As a research chemical targeting a stem cell population, potential effects on normal neural stem cells and other proliferative tissues would need to be evaluated. Standard cytotoxicity and genotoxicity assays (e.g., Ames test) are recommended.

| Additional Infomation |
FTO-IN-3 is a research chemical, not an approved drug. It is a selective FTO inhibitor that impairs self-renewal in glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) without affecting normal neural stem cells, making it a promising lead for developing brain cancer therapeutics. It is used as a chemical probe to study FTO-driven cancer stem cell biology and the role of m6A RNA methylation in glioblastoma.

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).
