Namoline is a γ-pyrone compound that functions as a selective and reversible inhibitor of Lysine-specificdemethylase 1 (LSD1) with an IC50 of 51 μM in an HRP-coupled enzymatic assay. By impairing LSD1 demethylase activity, Namoline effectively inhibits cell proliferation. Due to its characteristics, Namoline holds promise for research pertaining to androgen-dependent prostate cancer.
INCB059872 is a highly potent, orally active, selective, and irreversible inhibitor of Lysine-SpecificDemethylase 1 (LSD1). Its chemical properties make it suitable for use in researching myeloid leukemia.
S2116 is a powerful inhibitor of lysine-specificdemethylase 1 (LSD1), and it is a derivative of N-alkylated tranylcypromine (TCP). S2116 exhibits its inhibitory effects by increasing H3K9 methylation and inducing reciprocal H3K27 deacetylation at super-enhancer regions. In TCP-resistant T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cells, S2116 triggers apoptosis by repressing the transcription of NOTCH3 and TAL1 genes. Furthermore, S2116 demonstrates significant growth retardation of T-ALL cells when xenotransplanted into mice.
Geranylgeranoic acid (GGA) is an isoprenoid that has been found inS. chinensisand has anticancer activity.1It induces apoptosis in Huh7 and PLC/PRF/5 human hepatoma cells and MLE-10 transformed mouse hepatocytes, but not primary mouse hepatocytes, when used at concentrations ranging from 1 to 20 μM. GGA (10 μM) induces apoptosis in Huh7 cellsvialoss of the mitochondrial membrane potential and activation of interleukin-1β-converting enzyme (ICE) and cysteine protease precursor 32 (CPP32).2It also inhibits lysine-specificdemethylase 1 (LSD1; IC50= 46.97 μM).3 1.Shidoji, Y., and Ogawa, H.Natural occurrence of cancer-preventive geranylgeranoic acid in medicinal herbsJ.
