Sinefungin
Based on 4 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Sinefungin is a potent inhibitor of virion mRNA(guanine-7-)-methyltransferase, mRNA(nucleoside-2'-)-methyltransferase, and viral multiplication. Sinefungin, a SET7/9 inhibitor, ameliorates renal fibrosis by inhibiting H3K4 methylation.

Sinefungin (0.5 or 1.0 μg/mL, 60 minutes) ameliorates the TGF-β1-induced increase of α-SMA and inhibits the upregulation of histone H3K4 monomethylation in renal epithelial cells and renal fibroblast cells[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Cell Line:Renal epithelial cells.
-
Concentration:0.5 or 1.0 μg/mL.
-
Incubation Time:Pretreatment 60 minutes before TGF-β1 (10 ng/mL).
-
Result:Significantly reduced TGF-β1-inducedα-SMA protein expression and inhibited H3K4me1 in a dose-dependent manner in both NRK-52E and NRK-49F cells.

-
Animal Model:Male C57BL/6J mice (8 weeks of age)[2].
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg
-
Administration:Administered intraperitoneally per day immediately after UUO (prepared as a suspension in distilled water and 0.9% NaCl solution).
-
Result:Inhibited α-SMA protein expression.
Ameliorated those (α-SMA, FSP-1, collagen 1, collagen 3) both at 3 and 7 days after UUO.
