FTO-IN-17
FTO-IN-17 is an orally active and brain-penetrant FTO (m6A RNA demethylase) inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.1 μM. FTO-IN-17 stably binds the FTO catalytic pocket. FTO-IN-17 protects against Aβ1-42-induced toxicity while increasing global m6A levels and dampening pro-inflammatory gene (CXCL10, TNF-α) expression. FTO-IN-17 ameliorates anxiety-like behavior and rescues hippocampal-dependent spatial, recognition memory and neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease mice models.

Biological Activity
FTO-IN-17 (Compound VI) exhibits high in vitro blood-brain barrier permeability (Pe = 12.2 × 10-6 cm/s)[1].
FTO-IN-17 (0.01-50 μM; overnight) potently inhibits human FTO demethylase activity with an IC50 of 1.1 μM[1].
FTO-IN-17 (10 μM; overnight) is fully selective for human FTO over human ALKBH5 demethylase, showing no inhibition of ALKBH5 at 10 μM[1].
The (S)-stereoisomer of FTO-IN-17 exhibits significantly stronger, more stable binding to human FTO than the (R)-stereoisomer, with over 7 times higher calculated binding affinity[1].
FTO-IN-17 (0.001-50 μM; 30 min pre-incubation + 24 h co-incubation) provides sustained, dose-dependent neuroprotection against Aβ1-42-induced toxicity in differentiated SH-SY5Y cells, increases global m6A levels, and downregulates pro-inflammatory gene expression at 1 μM[1].
