| Bioactivity | AS-99 TFA is a first-in-class, potent and selective ASH1L histone methyltransferase inhibitor (IC50= 0.79 µM, Kd= 0.89 µM) with anti-leukemic activity. AS-99 TFA blocks cell proliferation, induces apoptosis and differentiation, downregulates MLL fusion target genes, and reduces the leukemia burden in vivo[1]. |
| Invitro | AS-99 TFA is tested against a panel of 20 histone methyltransferases, including NSD1, NSD2, NSD3, and SETD2. NO significant inhibition is observed at 50 µM of AS-99 TFA on any of the tested histone methyltransferases, indicating over 100-fold selectivity towards ASH1L[1].AS-99 shows a several fold weaker effect on the proliferation of leukemia cells without MLL1 translocations, such as SET2 and K562, with no or limited effects at 10 µM or higher concentrations[1].AS-99 (1-8 µM; 7 days) TFA also induces apoptosis in the MLL leukemia cells, but not in the K562 cells, as assessed by the quantification of the Annexin V positive cells[1].AS-99 TFA suppresses MLL fusion driven transcriptional programs[1].AS-99 results in a reduced number of H3K36me2 peaks when compared to the DMSO-treated cells[1].
