Submit ReviewUNC 0638 is a selective inhibitor of G9a and GLP histone lysine methyltransferases (IC50 values are < 15 nM and 19 nM for G9a and GLP respectively, and > 10000 nM for a range of other histone methyltransferases). Potently inhibits dimethylation of H3K9 in MCF-7 cells (IC50 = 70 nM). Restores metabolic and antiviral function in exhausted CD8+ T cells from patients with chronic HCV infection. Cell permeable.
This probe is supplied in conjunction with the Structural Genomics Consortium. For further characterization details, please visit the UNC 0638 probe summary on the SGC website.

Written by Susanne Müller-Knapp and Peter J. Brown, this review gives an overview of the development of chemical probes for epigenetic targets, as well as the impact of these tool compounds being made available to the scientific community. In addition, their biological effects are also discussed. Epigenetic compounds available from Tocris are listed.
This poster summarizes the main epigenetic targets in cancer. The dysregulation of epigenetic modifications has been shown to result in oncogenesis and cancer progression. Unlike genetic mutations, epigenetic alterations are considered to be reversible and thus make promising therapeutic targets.
