MS1262 TFA
MS1262 TFA is a blood-brain barrier-permeable, selective inhibitor of histone methyltransferases G9a (EHMT2) and GLP (EHMT1), with an IC50 of 19 nM and a Kd of 74 nM against G9a, and an IC50 of 6 nM and a Kd of 19 nM against GLP. MS1262 TFA reduces the dimethylation level of histone H3 lysine 9 and decreases the size of Aβ plaques. MS1262 TFA restores hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) and miniature excitatory postsynaptic current (sEPSC) frequency, ameliorates spatial memory deficits, and reverses anxiety-like and depression-like behaviors in AD model mice. MS1262 TFA reverses the expression/phosphorylation levels of early AD biomarkers, providing support for stage-specific diagnosis of AD. MS1262 TFA reduces the risk of thrombus rupture. MS1262 TFA can be used in research related to Alzheimer's disease, colorectal cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer.

Biological Activity
MS1262 TFA is a highly potent inhibitor of purified G9a and GLP proteins, with IC50 values of 19 nM and 6 nM, respectively, and Kd values of 74 nM and 19 nM, respectively[1].
MS1262 (1 µM) TFA exhibits excellent selectivity for G9a and GLP, with no significant inhibition of 21 other methyltransferases at 1 µM[1].
MS1262 (5-5000 nM; 48 h) TFA reduces H3K9me2 levels in K562 cells in a concentration-dependent manner following 48 hours of treatment[1].

Showed visible decreases at all tested concentrations compared to DMSO vehicle control.
MS1262 (1 mg/kg; i.p.; once every 3.5 days; 6 weeks) TFA treatment fully restores cognitive and noncognitive functions to wild-type levels and reverses AD-associated proteomic and phosphoproteomic dysregulation in APPNLGF knock-in mice[3].

Animal Model:5xFAD (C57BL/6J) (16-24 weeks old, both male and female, sex-matched; Alzheimer's disease transgenic model)[3]
-
Dosage:1 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; once every 3.5 days; 6 weeks
-
Result:Rescued spatial memory deficits, with discrimination ratio restored to wild-type levels (p < 0.0001).
Increased time spent in the open arms of the elevated zero maze, indicating reduced anxiety-like behavior.
Reduced time spent immobile in the forced swim test, indicating reduced depression-like behavior.
Left locomotion unaffected.
Increased frequency of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSCs) in dentate granule cells, with no change in sEPSC amplitude or intrinsic cellular properties.
Reversed AD-characteristic dysregulation of 9764 entities (1346 proteins, 8418 phosphosites; log2FC ±0.2, P < 0.05), including m6A RNA regulators, synaptic proteins, tau isoforms, and proteins involved in calcium signaling, CREB signaling, synaptogenesis, and CDK5 pathways.
Reversed AD-dysregulated expression of early-stage AD CSF biomarkers and proteins associated with blood coagulation pathways.
