| Bioactivity | PFI-2 ((R)-PFI-2 hydrochloride) hydrochloride is a potent and selective SET domain containing lysine methyltransferase 7 (SETD7) inhibitor. (R)-PFI-2 shows high inhibiting activity with IC50 value of 2.0 nM and (S)-PFI-2 shows inhibiting activity with IC50 value of 1.0 μM. PFI-2 hydrochloride can be used for the research of chronic kidney disease and inflammation response in the development of renal fibrosis[1][2]. |
| Invitro | (R)-PFI-2 shows high inhibiting activity with IC50 value of 2.0 nM and (S)-PFI-2 shows inhibiting activity with IC50 value of 1.0 μM[1]. |
| In Vivo | PFI-2 (i.p., 200 μM, twice a week) attenuates the progression of renal fibrosis and preserves renal function in FA nephropathy[2].PFI-2 (i.p., 200 μM, twice a week) reduced ECM accumulation and fibroblasts activation after FA injury[2].PFI-2 (i.p., 200 μM, twice a week) impeded Th2 cytokine signaling activation and M2 macrophage polarization[2].PFI-2 (i.p., 200 μM, twice a week) suppressed M2 macrophages-myofibroblasts transition and myeloid myofibroblasts accumulation in the FA-treated kidneys[2].PFI-2 (i.p., 200 μM, twice a week) attenuated macrophages M2 polarization and M2 macrophages-to-myofibroblasts transition in obstructed kidneys[2].PFI-2 (i.p., 200 μM, twice a week) suppressed myeloid myofibroblast accumulation and renal fibrosis after UUO injury[2].PFI-2 (i.p., 200 μM, twice a week) reduced the infiltration of inflammatory cells, the production of inflammatory molecules, and NF-κB activation in FA nephropathy.
