Description

UNC3866 is a potent antagonist of the CBX7-H3 interaction as determined by AlphaScreen (IC50=66±1.2 nM) and is more than 100-fold selective for CBX7 over the other nine members of this methyl-lysine (Kme) reader panel.

IC50 & Target

IC50: 66±1.2 nM (CBX7)[1]

In Vitro

UNC3866, a potent antagonist of the methyl-lysine (Kme) reading function of the Polycomb CBX and CDY families of chromodomains. UNC3866 binds the chromodomains of CBX4 and CBX7 most potently with a Kd of 100 nM for each, and is 6- to 18-fold selective versus seven other CBX and CDY chromodomains while being highly selective versus >250 other protein targets. UNC3866 inhibits PC3 cell proliferation, a known CBX7 phenotype, while UNC4219, a methylated negative control compound, has negligible effects. UNC3866 is a potent and cellularly active antagonist of PRC1 chromodomains. UNC3866 is the most potent ligand reported for CBX7 with a Kd of 97±2.4 nM. UNC3866 is equipotent for CBX4, which is most similar to CBX7, while it is 18-, 6- and 12-fold selective for CBX4/7 over CBX2, -6 and -8, respectively. Additionally, UNC3866 is 65-fold selective for CBX4/7 over CDY1 and 9-fold selective for CBX4/7 over CDYL1b and CDYL2[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.14 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.14 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

The effect of UNC3866 on the methyltransferase activity of G9a, EHMT1, SUV39H1, SUV39H2, SETDB1, SETD8, SUV420H1, SUV420H2, SETD7, MLL1 trimeric complex, MLL3 tetrameric complex, EZH2 trimeric complex, PRMT1, PRMT3, PRMT5-MEP50 complex, PRMT6, PRMT7, PRMT8, PRDM9, SETD2, SMYD2, SMYD3, BCDIN3D and DNMT1 is assessed by monitoring the incorporation of tritium-labeled methyl group to lysine or arginine residues of peptide substrates using Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA). Assays are performed in a 20 μL reaction mixture containing 3H-SAM at substrate concentrations close to the Km values for each enzyme. Three concentrations (1 μM, 10 μM, and 50 μM) of UNC3866 are used in all selectivity assays. To stop the enzymatic reactions, 7.5 M Guanidine hydrochloride is added, followed by 180 μL of buffer (20 mM Tris, pH 8.0). The reactions are mixed and then transferred to a 96-well FlashPlate. The reaction mixtures in Flash plates are incubated for 1 hour and the CPM are measured using a TopCount plate reader. The CPM counts in the absence of compound for each data set are defined as 100% activity. In the absence of the enzyme, the CPM counts in each data set are defined as background (0%)[1].

Cell Assay
[1]

PC3 cells are seeded at 200 cells/well into 24-well plates. Cells are allowed to adhere overnight. The media (DMEM supplemented with 10 % FBS) is then exchanged with fresh media containing DMSO, UNC3866 or UNC4219. On day three, the media are exchanged with fresh media containing DMSO, UNC3866 or UNC4219. For dose-response studies, the EC50 is derived from a six-point titration ranging from 100 μM to 0.4 μM of UNC3866 or UNC4219. At day 0, 3 or 6, cells are fixed with ice-cold methanol for 30 sec. and rehydrated with PBS. Nuclei of the cells are stained with DAPI (0.05 μg/mL) and numerated using High Content Microscopy. For dose-response studies, the cell count of UNC3866- or UNC4219-treated cells is normalized to the average cell count of DMSO-treated cells. The EC50 is calculated using the “log[inhibitor] vs. the normalized response-Variable slope” equation in GraphPad Prism 5[1].

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.
