Biological Activity
IC50: 5 nM (SHMT1), 13 nM (SHMT2)[1]
SHIN1 (RZ-2994) inhibits human SHIN1 SHMT1/2 with IC50s of 5 and 13 nM, respectively in an in vitro assay. SHIN1 inhibits the growth of SHMT2 deletion HCT-116 cells with an IC50 of 10 nM. SHIN1 (RZ-2994) inhibits SHMT1/2 in HCT-116 cells. SHIN1 (RZ-2994) is particularly active against B-cell malignancies. SHIN1 blocks cell growth through a progressive depletion of purines, leading to loss of nucleotide triphosphates[1].

Protocol
For proliferation assays, HCT-116 cells are treated with SHIN1 (1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000 nM) for 24-72 hours. Cell number was counted directly using Trypan blue and the Countess system[1].
