    In Vitro

    UNC0642 displays high in vitro and cellular potency, low cell toxicity, and excellent selectivity. UNC0642 is competitive with the peptide substrate and non-competitive with the cofactor SAM. The Ki of UNC0642 is determined to be 3.7±1 nM. UNC0642 displays high in vitro potency for GLP (IC50< 2.5 nM), similar to G9a. UNC0642 is more than 300-fold selective for G9a and GLP over a broad range of kinases, GPCRs, transporters, and ion channels. UNC0642 exhibits high potency at reducing the H3K9me2 mark, low cell toxicity, and good separation of functional potency and cell toxicity in a number of cell lines. It reduces clonogenicity in PANC-1 cells, a pancreatic carcinoma cell line[1].

    In Vivo

    A single intraperitoneal (IP) injection (5 mg/kg) of UNC0642 results in a plasma Cmax (maximum concentration) of 947 ng/mL and an AUC (area under the curve) of 1265 hr*ng/mL[1].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.57 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.57 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    MDA-MB-231, PC3, and U2OS cells are treated with inhibitors (UNC0642) for 48 h. Cell viability assays are performed by incubating cells with 0.1 mg/mL of resazurin for 3 – 4 h. Resazurin reduction is monitored with 544 nm excitation, measuring fluorescence at 590 nm. In-cell western assay is performed as described previously[1].

    Animal Administration
    [1]

    Mice: Standard PK studies are performed using male Swiss albino mice. Plasma and brain concentrations are measured at 0.08, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 h following a single IP injection of UNC0642 at 5 mg/kg. The compound concentration at each time point in plasma or brain is the average value from 3 test animals[1].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
