M3541
Based on 1 Customer Validation
M3541 is an orally effective DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) inhibitor. M3541 inhibits ionizing radiation-induced ATM autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of downstream substrates (KAP1, CHK2, p53), blocks DSB end resection and homologous recombination repair, and simultaneously induces non-homologous end joining, G2-M phase arrest, polyploidization, and cell death. M3541 can be used for research on solid tumors, acute myeloid leukemia, non-small cell lung cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, etc..

In Vitro
M3541 (1 μM; 1 h) significantly impairs DSB repair in A549 cells, leading to the accumulation of unrepaired DSBs[1].
M3541 (1 μM; 1 h) combined with IR (5 Gy) inhibits the growth of A549 cells[1].
M3541 (1 μM; 1 h) exhibits radiosensitizing effects in A549 and 13 other cancer cell lines, significantly reducing clonogenic survival[1].
M3541 (1 µM; 6-96 h) inhibits early p53 activation induced by the combination of Calicheamicin (HY-19609)/M3814 (Nedisertib) (HY-101570) in MV4-11 cells, supporting that enhanced p53 activity is a downstream effect of M3814-induced ATM hyperactivation[2].
M3541 alone (up to 1.0 μM) shows minimal toxicity in A549 and NCI-H460 cells but sensitizes these cells to ionizing radiation[3].
M3541 (1 μM; 24 h) inhibition of ATM impairs RAD51 and RPA foci formation and increases DNA damage in FA-deficient HeLa and U2OS cells[3].
M3541 further impairs DNA end resection in FANCD2-deficient U2OS cells[3].
M3541 (1 μM; 24 h) further reduces DNA end resection in FANCD2-knockout U2OS cells[3].
M3541 (1 μM; 72 h) further increases NHEJ activity in U2OS cells with knockdown of FA/BRCA pathway components[3].
M3541 (1 μM; 72 h) reduces HR activity in FA/BRCA pathway-knockdown U2OS cells[3].
M3541 selectively inhibits the growth of PL11, HS766T, and TOV21G cancer cell lines with FA pathway defects[3].
M3541 (1 μM; 24 h) slightly decreases phospho-ATM levels below baseline and significantly reverses M6620 (Berzosertib) (HY-13902)-induced phospho-ATM levels in A549 cancer cells[5].
M3541 (1 μM; 24 h) alone has minimal effect on ATM/p53 signaling proteins, but in A549 cells it inhibits M6620-induced activation of these proteins[5].
M3541 (5 days) alone has minimal effect on the cell viability of A549 parental cells and ATM-deficient cells, but exhibits a synergistic effect with M6620 in A549 parental cells[5].
M3541 (1 μM; 1 h) abolishes the elevation of p53 induced by DNA-PK inhibitors in irradiated HCT116 and RKO cells, indicating that this event occurs downstream of the ATM pathway[6].
M3541 sensitizes multiple tumor cell lines to ionizing radiation and a topoisomerase inhibitor in vitro[7].
M3541 (1 μM; 1 h) effectively inhibits the catalytic activity of ATM and its downstream signaling in irradiated A549, A375, and RKO cancer cells, with 1 μM causing over 90% inhibition[9].
M3541 (1 μM; 1 h) initially suppresses IR-induced γH2AX foci but leads to the accumulation of numerous unrepaired DSBs at 24 h in A549 cells[9].
M3541 (1 h) significantly enhances radiation-induced cell death and inhibits the growth of HeLa cells[9].
M3541 (7 days) significantly enhances radiation-induced chromosome misalignment, missegregation, and prolonged metaphase in HeLa cells[9].

M3541 strongly enhances structural damage and micronucleus formation in irradiated A549 cells[9].
M3541 strongly enhances inflammatory signaling in irradiated A549 cells[9].
M3541 is a highly potent ATP-competitive ATM kinase inhibitor with an IC50 < 1 nM[10].
M3541 (1 μM; 24 h) alone does not affect cell cycle distribution, but partially reverses the G1 phase arrest induced by M6620 in A549, A375, and H460 cancer cells[5].
M3541 (1 μM) prevents complete cell cycle arrest induced by DNA-PK inhibition in irradiated A375 cells, confirming the role of ATM in this process[6].
M3541 (1 μM; 1 h) inhibits the function of ATM in cell cycle checkpoint control in irradiated A549 cells, causing cell cycle arrest to shift primarily toward G2/M[9].
The inhibitory activity of M3541 requires wild-type ATM kinase and functional signaling, with an average IC50 of 71 nM in wild-type ATM cell lines and 670 nM in mutant ATM cell lines[1].
M3541 (1 μM) alone causes growth inhibition in IMR90 and WI38 fibroblast cell lines, but induces only slight cell death[5].
