Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | The H3R2me2a mark in HEK293 cells is lowered in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50=0.97±0.05 μM) by MS049 (0.1-10 μM; 20 hours) [1]. In HEK293 cells (Med12-Rme2a, IC50 = 1.4±0.1 μM), MS049 (0.1-100 μM; 72 hours) decreased the amount of endogenous PRMT4 methyltransferase activity, leading to a decrease in cellular asymmetric arginine dimethylation of Med12[1]. In addition to non-epigenetic targets, MS049 is selective for PRMT4 and PRMT6 against a range of epigenetic modifiers, including as other PRMT, PKMT, DNMT, KDM, and methyllysine/methylarginine reader proteins [1]. |

Western Blot Analysis [1] Cell Types: HEK293 cells Tested Concentrations: 0.1, 1, 10 μM Incubation Duration: 20 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Reduce H3R2me2a mark in HEK293 cells in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50=0.97±0.05 μM). Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: HEK293 Cell Tested Concentrations: 0.1, 1, 10, 100 μM Incubation Duration: 72 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Cellular asymmetric arginine dimethylation levels of Med12 are diminished (Med12-Rme2a, IC50=1.4 ±0.1 μM) HEK293 cells. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) |
H2O : ≥ 100 mg/mL (~402.64 mM) DMSO : ≥ 31 mg/mL (~124.82 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.07 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.07 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.07 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. Solubility in Formulation 4: 100 mg/mL (402.64 mM) in PBS (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with ultrasonication.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
