General description

A cell-permable amino-benzimidazolo compound that inhibits a broad-spectrum of histone methyltransferases, including PRMT1, SET7/9, G9a, SUV39H1, and GLP (effective conc. = 15 µM) in a SAM-competitive manner. BIX-01338 is reported to affect the growth of mES, MEF, and HeLa cells at concentrations needed for HMT inhibition, limiting its use in HMTase studies to cell-free systems only.
A cell-permeable amino-benzimidazolo compound that is shown to inhibit a broad-spectrum of histone methyltransferases, including the PRMT1 H4R3 me2 activity, SET7/9 H3K4 me activity, G9a H3K9 me2 activity, as well as the H3K9 me3 activity of SUV39H1 (wild-type and H320R hyperactive mutant) and GLP (effective conc. = 15 µM) in a SAM-competitive manner. BIX-01338 is reported to affect the growth of mES, MEF, and HeLa cells at 13.3 µM, while failing to affect cellular H3K9me/me2/me3 and H3K27me2 levels at a lower non-cytotoxic concentration of 3.3 µM, limiting its use in HMTase studies to cell-free systems only.
