IC50: 144 μM (METTL1-WDR4)[1].
METTL1-WDR4-IN-1 targets the METTL1-WDR4 methyltransferase complex, which is responsible for the formation of N7-methylguanosine (m7G) in RNA. METTL1 is the catalytic subunit of the complex, while WDR4 is a regulatory subunit. The compound acts as a selective competitive inhibitor of this complex, blocking its methyltransferase activity. By inhibiting METTL1-WDR4, the compound modulates m7G RNA methylation, which plays a role in various biological processes including translation, RNA stability, and gene expression. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
METTL1-WDR4-IN-1 shows in vitro inhibition of the METTL1-WDR4 methyltransferase complex with an IC50 of 144 μM. This activity has been validated in biochemical assays measuring the methyltransferase activity of the complex. The compound acts as a selective competitive inhibitor, meaning it competes with the substrate for binding to the active site of the enzyme.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity of METTL1-WDR4-IN-1 has not been extensively reported in the available literature. As an inhibitor of RNA methylation, the compound may have potential applications in studying the role of m7G methylation in various biological processes and diseases. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data are limited, and the compound is primarily used as a research tool for in vitro studies.

| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cell-based enzyme assays for METTL1-WDR4-IN-1 typically involve measuring the inhibition of METTL1-WDR4 methyltransferase activity using a radioactive or fluorescence-based assay. A standard protocol includes incubating purified METTL1-WDR4 complex with a substrate (such as a RNA oligonucleotide) and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as the methyl donor. METTL1-WDR4-IN-1 is added at various concentrations (0.1–1000 μM), and the incorporation of methyl groups into the substrate is measured. IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for METTL1-WDR4-IN-1 are not typically performed as the compound has a relatively high IC50 (144 μM) and is primarily used as a biochemical tool. If conducted, a representative protocol would include culturing cells in appropriate medium, treating with METTL1-WDR4-IN-1 at high concentrations (50–500 μM) for 24–72 hours, and measuring global m7G RNA methylation levels by LC-MS/MS or dot blot using anti-m7G antibodies.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies with METTL1-WDR4-IN-1 have not been reported in the available literature. As a research compound with a relatively high IC50, it is primarily used as a biochemical tool for in vitro studies rather than for in vivo applications.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
