| Targets |
UNC0379 targets the lysine methyltransferase SETD8 (KMT5A). It is a substrate-competitive inhibitor that prevents the methylation of histone H4 lysine 20 (H4K20). SETD8 expression is observed in cancers including bladder cancer, chronic myelogenous leukemia, hepatocellular carcinoma, non-small-cell lung carcinoma, prostate cancer, and small-cell lung carcinoma. Inhibition of SETD8 by UNC0379 may prevent cancer progression.

| ln Vitro |
UNC0379 TFA (1–10 μM, 9 days) prevents the growth of HGSOC cells [2]. In HGSOC cells, UNC0379 TFA (10 μM, 96 hours) can raise the percentage of sub-G1 phase cells [2]. Ten micrograms of UNC0379 TFA administered over a 48-hour period causes myofibroblast dedifferentiation and prevents new fibroblasts from differentiating into myofibroblasts [3].
UNC0379 demonstrates selective inhibition of SETD8 with an IC50 of 7.3 μM. It displays good selectivity over 15 other methyltransferases, with IC50 values over 100 μM for other methyltransferases. H4K20 methylation has been implicated in the regulation of various biological processes including the DNA damage response. Inhibition leads to alterations in chromatin structure and gene expression. |
| ln Vivo |
In rats with bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis, UNC0379 TFA (intratracheally given, 1 mg/kg/day, 1 mg/kg/day, days 7, 8, and 9) reduces lung fibrosis [3].
In vivo activity data for UNC0379 are not extensively detailed in the available literature. As an inhibitor of SETD8, which is overexpressed in multiple cancer types, the compound has potential for anticancer activity. The compound is used as a chemical probe to study the biological functions of H4K20 methylation in various cellular contexts. Specific in vivo efficacy data are not reported. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Specific cell-free enzyme/receptor binding assay protocols for UNC0379 involve histone methyltransferase assays. The compound’s IC50 of 7.3 μM for SETD8 is determined using peptide-based methylation assays. Selectivity is confirmed by testing against 15 other methyltransferases, with IC50 values over 100 μM. Substrate-competitive inhibition is confirmed through kinetic analysis.

| Cell Assay |
Cell Viability Assay [1]
Cell Types: JHOS2, JHOS3, JHOS4, OVCAR3, OVCAHO, OVKATE, KURAMOCHI, TYKnu Tested Concentrations: 1-10 μM Incubation Duration: 9 days Experimental Results: Inhibits HGSOC cell proliferation with IC50 ranging from 0.39 to 3.20 μM. Cell cycle analysis[1] Cell Types: JHOS3, OVCAR3 Tested Concentrations: 10 µM Incubation Duration: 96 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Cells were captured in sub-G1 phase. In vitro cell-based assays for UNC0379 use cancer cell lines expressing SETD8. Cells are treated with UNC0379, and H4K20 monomethylation levels are assessed by Western blot using specific antibodies. Effects on cell proliferation, DNA damage response, and gene expression are evaluated. The compound’s selectivity is confirmed by assessing its effects on other histone methylation marks. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis mouse model [3]
Doses: 1 mg/kg/day Route of Administration: intratubular administration on days 7, 8 and 9. Experimental Results: Improved BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis (supported by assessment of Ashcroft score and changes in collagen content in lung samples) without affecting lung inflammation. In vivo animal studies for UNC0379 are not detailed in the available literature. As an epigenetic inhibitor targeting SETD8, which is overexpressed in multiple cancers, typical in vivo evaluation would involve xenograft mouse models. Tumor-bearing mice would be treated with UNC0379, and tumor growth inhibition, H4K20 methylation levels, and survival would be monitored. |
