    Description

    MS023 trihydrochloride is a potent, selective, and cell-active inhibitor of human type I protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) inhibitor, with IC50s of 30, 119, 83, 4 and 5 nM for PRMT1, PRMT3, PRMT4, PRMT6, and PRMT8, respectively[1].

    In Vitro

    MS023 (1-1000 nM; 48 hours) inhibits PRMT1 methyltransferase activity in MCF7 cells[1].
    MS023(1-1000 nM; 20 hours) inhibits PRMT6 methyltransferase activity in HEK293 cells[1].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Western Blot Analysis[1]

    Cell Line: MCF7 and HEK293 cells
    Concentration: 1.4, 4, 12, 37, 111, 333, and 1000 nM
    Incubation Time: 48 hours for MCF7 cells; 20 hours for HEK293 cells
    Result: Treatment potently and concentration-dependently reduced cellular levels of H4R3me2a (IC50=9 nM).Treatment concentration-dependently reduced the H3R2me2a mark (IC50=56 nM).
    In Vivo

    Administration of MS023 (160 mg/kg, i.p) in combination with PKC412 (100 mg/kg, i.g.) blocks MLL-r acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) propagation by inhibiting maintenance of functional MLL-r ALL-initiating cells[2].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Animal Model: NOD-scid IL2Rgnull (NSG) mice bearing primary MLL-r ALL cells[2]
    Dosage: 160 mg/kg
    Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; PKC412 (100 mg/kg, i.g.), MS023 (160 mg/kg, i.p), or a combination for 4 weeks
    Result: Combinatorial treatment extended survival of leukemic mice relative to single treatments.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
